Investment Expansion ZDA is actively promoting and facilitating investment in Zambia, with recent high-profile deals and partnerships (eg. IPPA with Mansa Sugar and a $246 million investment in the Nambala solar project). This signals opportunities to engage with ZDA on large-scale investment promotions and project due diligence.

Cross‑Border Growth Recent activity includes regional expansions to Eastern Africa and broader African markets, presenting a channel for selling scalable solutions to support cross-border investment facilitation, investor aftercare, and regional trade support services.

Public‑Private Enablement As a one-stop government agency blending multiple erstwhile bodies, ZDA seeks streamlined, cost-reducing business development services. Solutions that simplify compliance, workflow automation, and investor matchmaking could align with their core mandate.

Digital & Data Enablement ZDA’s tech stack includes modern web and engagement tools and a strong emphasis on analytics partnerships. Opportunities exist for CRM, analytics, and enterprise software that enhance investor targeting, reporting, and relationship management.

Strategic Partnerships ZDA collaborates with research institutes, industry events, and international partners (eg. Mauritius EDB, policy institutes). There is potential to propose joint programs, capacity-building platforms, and funded pilots with tangible SME and investment outcomes.
