The Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) hosted a Zimbabwean delegation, led by ZNCC CEO Adv. Christopher Mugaga, for a visit to the Trade & Investment Finance and Innovation Centre (TRIFIC) as part of the Kenya–Zimbabwe Investment and Trade Mission.

At TRIFIC, they received an overview of the centre’s role as a service-driven platform that supports investors through advisory, trade facilitation, and business-support services.

The discussion also covered Kenya’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs), highlighting incentives such as reduced corporate tax, zero-rated VAT and import duty exemptions, all of which attract regional and international investors.

The delegation toured TRIFIC Tower, exploring its modern infrastructure, designed to foster enterprise growth and investor engagement.

They then visited Tatu City, Kenya’s first fully operational SEZ — a 5,000-acre mixed-use development combining residential, industrial, and commercial zones.

During their visit, they:
* Attended a presentation on the Tatu City SEZ, which detailed the available incentives (e.g., 10% corporate tax for the first 10 years, 15% thereafter, import-duty exemptions, and zero-rated VAT).
* Toured the industrial park, where light manufacturing companies such as Dormans, Davis & Shirtliff, and others operate.
* Visited, a newly completed warehousing and park within Tatu City that targets SMEs and offers SEZ benefits.
* Explored residential areas, including high-density housing such as Unity Homes, as well as more premium neighbourhoods like Kijani Ridge.

Overall, the visit underscored Tatu City’s model as a “live, work, and play” development that leverages SEZ incentives to drive industrial growth, urban living, and foreign direct investment.
