MTN Zambia has launched the Information, Communications and Technology (ICT) Connect Expo, a platform designed to showcase innovative and future-ready digital solutions developed through strategic partnerships with leading technology providers.

The ICT Connect Expo serves as a hub for enterprise customers, government stakeholders, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), and industry innovators to engage in dialogue, demonstrate cutting-edge technologies, and foster collaboration to drive digital transformation.

Speaking during the launch in Lusaka on Thursday, MTN Zambia Chief Executive Officer, Abbad Reda, said the Expo forms part of the company’s 20-year anniversary celebrations, marking two decades of connecting people, businesses, and communities.

Similarly, MTN Zambia Enterprise Business Unit General Manager, Mildred Chica, said the Expo reflected MTN’s evolution from a provider of basic mobile services to a trusted partner powering digital transformation across all sectors.

“When MTN Business first began its journey, our mission was simple — to connect people and businesses through reliable mobile communication. Over the years, the world has evolved, and so have we,” Chica said.

She noted that MTN Business now offers a wide portfolio of converged enterprise solutions, including fleet management systems that enable organizations to monitor and optimize operations in real time.

The ICT Connect Expo gives customers, partners, and stakeholders an opportunity to experience MTN’s latest digital innovations and explore how technology is reshaping business operations.

Meanwhile, Ministry of Technology and Science ICT Director, Dr. Larry Mweetwa, said government continued to promote digital transformation through investments in e-government platforms such as the Smart Zambia Institute, which serves as a central hub for accessing digital public services.
Mweetwa said Zambians and businesses of all sizes can now access online services such as business registration, tax filings, and NAPSA applications.

“While pursuing digital transformation, we recognise the need for close collaboration with the private sector,” he added.
