Malawi Investment and Trade Centre (MITC) has wrapped up its third China–Malawi Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Investment Forum series, securing investment commitments and opening new paths for economic collaboration.
Led by its Director General, Kruger Phiri, the delegation engaged over 300 prominent Chinese investors during forums held in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province and Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.
Phiri said MITC has put Malawi’s unique value proposition as an investment destination in the spotlight.
“20 Chinese companies have confirmed investment missions to Malawi in September 2025, where they will conduct on-site assessments at the Chipoka Special Economic Zone,” he said
MITC Board Member, Patience Chatsika, has made a call to action for Chinese businesses to take root in Chipoka and have their brands stamped ‘Made in Malawi’ and sale across continents.
The forums were conducted in partnership with Xidian International Stock Exchange (XISE) and attracted senior government officials, business leaders, and trade facilitators.
Discussions focused on strategic investment opportunities in manufacturing, mining, tourism, technology, and agro-processing—all centred around Malawi’s growing network of Special Economic Zones.
