Zambia Attracts Major Energy, Health, and Transport Investments at Invest Zambia 2025
Zambia is set to benefit from major investments in energy, healthcare, and transportation following the successful Invest Zambia International Conference (IZIC) 2025. The Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry has confirmed strong interest from leading international firms, highlighting the country’s growing appeal as a top investment destination.
Minister of Commerce, Trade and Industry, Hon. Chipoka Mulenga MP, revealed that the Global Gases Group, led by CEO Deepak Mehta, plans to invest significantly in Zambia’s energy and health sectors.
The company is targeting the development of infrastructure for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), large-scale biogas and biomethane production, and medical oxygen. A key goal is to boost LPG adoption in Zambia from under 3% to more than 50% within the next five to seven years.
In the healthcare sector, Global Gases also plans to supply liquid medical oxygen to hospitals across Zambia, with potential for regional exports. “LPG is the way forward, and Zambia is ready,” Hon. Mulenga stated. “We look forward to working with investors to unlock the country’s vast economic potential and drive sustainable growth.”
Meanwhile, the transportation sector is poised for a green transformation. EVC Investments Limited, an eco-enterprise promoting new energy technologies, announced plans to introduce New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) and establish solar-powered “PV+ESS+Charging” stations.
The company, supported by the Zambia Chinese Association, will become an authorized distributor for five Chinese NEV brands and will launch multi-brand 4S stores in four Zambian cities.
The government has pledged full support for these initiatives, including setting up local assembly plants and charging infrastructure to promote job creation and reduce reliance on fuel imports.
“These developments reflect the government’s proactive efforts in fostering a conducive investment environment and building strategic partnerships,” said Hon. Mulenga.
The Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry reaffirmed its commitment to working with investors and emphasized that Zambia remains open for business.
