Minister Mutsvangwa Urges Entrepreneurs to Embrace Innovation at Business Masterclass

The Minister of Women Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development, Hon. Senator Monica Mutsvangwa, has challenged Zimbabwean entrepreneurs to embrace innovation, technology adoption and continuous learning to build competitive and sustainable enterprises capable of driving economic transformation.

Speaking at the High-Impact Business Masterclass hosted by Sharpe Business Academy in Harare under the theme “The Future of Zimbabwean Business: Growth, Wealth and Opportunity,” the Minister highlighted the critical role of MSMEs, which contribute over 60% of Zimbabwe’s GDP.
She outlined Government initiatives supporting enterprise growth, including access to finance, entrepreneurship training, financial literacy programmes, market linkages, exhibitions, trade fairs and productive workspaces.
The Minister encouraged entrepreneurs to position themselves for opportunities emerging from digital transformation, artificial intelligence and evolving market trends.

During an interactive session, entrepreneurs raised concerns around business formalisation, taxation and access to affordable workspaces. Hon. Mutsvangwa invited participants to attend the Inaugural SMEs and Cooperatives Indaba on 16–17 July 2026, urging them to join business associations so that their concerns can be addressed collectively through structured engagement.

She also encouraged entrepreneurs to comply with tax obligations, noting that tax revenue remains essential for national development and creating an enabling environment for business growth.
