The high-level convention gathered senior government officials, regulatory bodies, development partners, and elite private sector leaders under a singular, definitive directive: “Driving Jobs and Shared Prosperity: Private Sector Steering Development and Growth.”
For Theotoka Laboratory Solutions, the forum provided an elite platform to align our corporate growth strategy with national economic objectives, focusing heavily on operational standards, sustainable industrialization, and high-impact corporate partnerships.
Aligning with National Socio-Economic Pillars
The plenary sessions demanded actionable private-public frameworks, and our delegation engaged directly with the three core pillars of the 2026 agenda:
- Labor and Workforce Readiness: Intersecting with discussions on closing critical skills gaps and preparing the Zambian workforce for future technical industries. As an organization rooted in scientific and operational precision, we recognize that building local technical capacity is central to national development.
- SME Integration and Local Content: Engaging with frameworks designed to strengthen local value chains. Theotoka Laboratory Solutions remains committed to driving local procurement and creating robust commercial pathways for local enterprises.
- ESG and Sustainable Investment: Affirming our commitment to rigorous Environmental, Social, and Governance standards, ensuring that our technical advancements contribute transparently to shared, long-term national prosperity.
Driving Strategic Industry Collaborations
The PPDF Mid-Year Private Sector Day also served as an aggressive networking arena, where our leadership team initiated vital cross-industry dialogues during strategic intervals to spearhead future collaborations.
Shaping Public Relations and Corporate Synergy
Our Vice Chairman held a productive briefing with Bridget Kambobe, Group Manager for PR and Corporate Affairs. The discussion focused on establishing robust corporate communication pipelines and exploring strategic synergies that highlight the private sector's role in propelling macroeconomic growth.
Elevating the Pharmaceutical and Medical Supply Chain
In a specialized sideline dialogue, Theodora Mac Andrew Sikazwe, representing Theotoka Laboratory Solutions, met with prominent medical expert Dr. Aaron Mujajati. The continuous session focused on the current trajectory of the Zambian pharmaceutical industry, lab infrastructure resilience, and collaborative opportunities to optimize medical supply chains and diagnostic standards nationwide.
Advancing Inclusive Growth with NGOCC
Furthering our commitment to social equity and local content, the Theotoka delegation met with Anna Mbewe Anamela, Executive Director of the Non-Governmental Gender Organisations’ Co-ordinating Council (NGOCC). The conversation centered on structural mechanisms to actively integrate women entrepreneurs into high-value industrial supply chains.
