Attend Geita Mining Expo for innovations
TANZANIA’S mining sector is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of national economic transformation. This evolution is on full display at the 8th Mining Technology Exhibition, currently taking place in Geita Town.
More than just a trade fair, this national event stands as a platform for innovation, knowledge-sharing and investment an opportunity that no Tanzanian should overlook.
This year’s edition has already made history. With over 1,200 participants confirmed more than double the 530 attendees recorded in 2024, it is clear that both local and international interest in Tanzania’s mining industry is surging.
Exhibitors from across the globe have come to Geita to showcase cutting-edge developments not only in mining technology, but also in business, entertainment and social development.
At its core, the exhibition aims to spotlight technology and innovation across all levels of the mining value chain from exploration and extraction to processing and value addition.

This holistic approach directly aligns with Tanzania’s broader goal of building an industrial economy, creating jobs and promoting inclusive development.
Geita Region, which is hosting this landmark event, is no stranger to mining excellence and success is supported by sound infrastructure, strong governance and a climate of peace and stability, all of which have positioned Geita as a strategic hub for mining activities.
One of the most commendable aspects of the exhibition is its focus on empowering small-scale miners. These miners, who are often the backbone of the sector, now have a chance to meet with both domestic and international investors, explore partnerships and gain access to modern technologies and financial services. It is a powerful step toward transforming informal operations into thriving enterprises that contribute meaningfully to both local and national economies.
A vast range of modern mining and processing equipment is currently on display. From solar-powered systems to digital mapping tools, the technologies being introduced address real challenges—such as low efficiency, environmental degradation and operational risks—faced by many in the sector. This is a golden opportunity for Tanzanian miners, business owners and researchers to learn, adapt and innovate.
The exhibition also reaffirms the country’s commitment to sustainable mining practices. As the world increasingly demands environmentally responsible operations, Tanzania is stepping forward with technologies and policies that balance economic growth with ecological protection.
