The Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency has unveiled a portfolio of investment opportunities worth more than US$17 million, targeting investors interested in mining, renewable energy and digital technology projects.

The projects, featured in ZIDA's June 2026 investment prospectus, are being presented as investment-ready ventures expected to contribute to industrialisation, job creation and export growth.

Among the largest opportunities is the Gold Securities Mine Project in Kwekwe, Midlands Province, which is seeking US$12 million in debt financing to expand operations and increase gold production.

The project seeks to transform "an existing small-to-medium-scale mining operation into a mechanised, commercial-scale gold producer."

Expansion plans include underground mining development, resource exploration, construction of a fully integrated gold processing plant and the installation of advanced recovery technologies.

ZIDA highlights several factors supporting the project's attractiveness, including firm gold prices, existing infrastructure and plans to increase annual production from six kilograms to 240 kilograms.

The mine is projected to generate US$315.35 million in revenue over a 25-year period, with a payback period of 2.4 years and a return on investment of 81.2 percent.

In the renewable energy sector, Verify Engineering is seeking investment partners for a US$4.56 million solar panel assembly plant planned for Chivhu.

The facility is expected to assemble solar panels ranging from 300W to 720W and forms part of efforts to strengthen local manufacturing capacity while supporting the country's transition to renewable energy.

The project comes as Zimbabwe continues to face electricity supply deficits, with average demand estimated at 2,100MW against generation capacity of approximately 1,600MW. Local production is also expected to reduce dependence on imported solar panels, which currently dominate the regional market.

Once operational, the plant is expected to generate annual revenue of US$6.15 million and annual earnings before interest and tax of US$1.49 million, with investors projected to recover their capital within three years.

The prospectus also features Numera Cloud, a Harare-based enterprise resource planning platform targeting small and medium enterprises across Sub-Saharan Africa.

The company is seeking US$500,000 in equity funding to support commercial expansion after developing a platform designed to address low levels of SME digitisation across the region.

Fewer than four percent of Sub-Saharan Africa's estimated 44 million SMEs currently use ERP systems, largely due to high costs, limited localisation and complex implementation processes.

Numera Cloud offers an affordable subscription model, rapid deployment and compliance tools tailored to local tax systems, including Zimbabwe's regulatory requirements.

The company has already secured 100 pilot customers generating recurring monthly revenue and is preparing for a full commercial launch.

While showcasing the projects, ZIDA stressed that its role remains that of an investment promotion and facilitation agency.

"The Agency does not guarantee the availability of financing, the success of any investment transaction, or the performance of any project."

The agency said responsibility for the projects remains with the respective promoters, while ZIDA focuses on connecting investors with opportunities and improving the country's investment environment.
