CTI’s executive director, Leodegar Tenga, stated that this year’s event, themed “Building Bridges and Bringing Together Domestic and International Producers,” aims to foster collaboration between domestic and international producers. He urged participants to seize this opportunity to elevate domestic production to international standards.

Fortunatus Mhambe, representing Tanzania Trade Development Authority (TANTRADE)’s director at the event, emphasized the importance of linking domestic and international industries and outlined the event’s role in facilitating knowledge exchange and technological advancements, crucial for positioning Tanzanian industries on the global stage.
