CONFERENCE
DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION - INVESTING FOR GROWTH
SUN CITY, SOUTH AFRICA
REGISTRATION OPEN
WINTER SCHOOL THEME & PROGRAM
The theme for the 2019 ICAZ Winter School is:
“Disruptive Innovation – Investing for Growth“
The conference will explore the need for businesses in Zimbabwe to
disrupt the status quo in a tough and uncertain economic environment in
order to thrive and excel locally and globally. With a focus on attracting
investments to Zimbabwe, hosting the winter school in South Africa will
give the opportunity for expansive dialogue on new business models and
innovations that could reignite Zimbabwean industries and position them
for greater economic growth.
Areas to be explored include successes and areas of growth through
the Internet of Things (IoT), fintech, agritech, health and insurtech. Is
there substance to technological advances in the age of smart phones
to do business and make it easier? The conference will showcase the
opportunities available in the country for international players and
create a platform for collaborations or investment. In line with the theme
to attract investments, the program will offer activities such as
business exhibitions, networking sessions and key sector break-away
sessions.
The winter school program has been designed to allow for both business
and leisure which will offer delegates the opportunity to leave Sun City with
disruptive innovative ideas, expanded networks and new strategic alliances.

WHY SOUTH AFRICA?
• ICAZ’s SA chapter members make up 33% of ICAZ membership.
The chapter is hosting the 2019 winter school as part of ICAZ’s
initiative to actively engage all its members.
• O.R Tambo International airport is a connecting hub that will allow
other ICAZ members in the diaspora to attend the winter school with
ease. 50% of the total ICAZ membership consists of members in the
diaspora.
• South Africa is Zimbabwe’s largest trading partner and hosting
the conference in South Africa is aimed at engaging South African
business partners and potential investors into Zimbabwe.
• South Africa has a diverse and sophisticated financial and industrial
economy and shares strong historical and trading ties with Zimbabwe
making it a good destination to access winter school speakers and
delegates for knowledge sharing.
• Zimbabweans currently living in South Africa are estimated to
be approximately three million, which represents a wide pool of
stakeholders that may have an interest in attending the winter
school for business networking.
• In the past, the winter school has mostly been held at the Victoria Falls,
hosted by either the Mashonaland or the Matabeleland Societies of
ICAZ. ICAZ’s thrust is to give all its chapters an opportunity to host
the winter school as a way of reaching out to all its members, as well
as taping into the various investment communities, to
attract Foreign Direct Investment into Zimbabwe.
