We pioneered the ZOL Start-Up Challenge because we understand the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship and want to encourage young Zimbabweans to excel in today's fast moving environment. The ZOL Start-Up Challenge gives innovative and creative potential entrepreneurs the chance to explore and execute their visions with the help of our Start-Up experts as well as essential financial support.

We are also supporters of The Arts in Zimbabwe and recognise the need for creativity and expression. As one of the main sponsors of HIFA, it is our hope to see Zimbabwe continue to earn its place on a global scale, showcasing our local talent alongside some of the biggest names in the industry with pride.

Harare international festival of the arts (HIFA)

HIFA is a 6-day annual festival and workshop programme that showcases the very best of local, regional and international arts and culture featuring theatre, dance, music, circus, street performance, fashion, spoken word and visual arts. HIFA has come to be seen as an important symbol of something positive about Zimbabwe, unifying socially and culturally disparate groups of Zimbabweans at a time of ideological conflict and political uncertainty bringing huge audiences together to celebrate something positive – the healing and constructive capacity of the arts.
