Entrepreneurs in Ruvuma Urged to Leverage Digital Technology to Expand Business Markets

According to the Ruvuma Regional Secretariat, traders and entrepreneurs in Ruvuma Region have been encouraged to use digital technology, especially social media platforms, to advertise their goods and widen their business markets. Additionally, youth were called upon to capitalize on business opportunities available in their local areas rather than waiting for costly equipment from neighboring countries.

The source reported that Ruvuma Regional Commissioner Brigadier General Ahmed Abbas Ahmed made the remarks during the closing of the Business and Investment Exhibition organized by Mbinga District Council. He stated that in today's world, business cannot be separated from technology, making it essential for regional entrepreneurs to engage digital networks.

Mbinga District Commissioner Kisare Makori stated that the exhibition forms part of implementing the National Development Vision 2050 by engaging the private sector to foster individual and national economic growth, according to the report.

The publication also noted that participating traders and entrepreneurs in Mbinga District Council expressed that the exhibition provided a valuable platform for exchanging ideas, marketing their products, and attracting new customers.

Efforts promoting digital literacy and entrepreneurship across Ruvuma Region align with TCDI's focus on youth livelihood development, skills building, and local economic empowerment. This is TCDI context, not a statement by the source, and does not mean TCDI took part in what is reported.
