The exhibition was last held in 2019. ZITF was suspended in 2020 after the country imposed a lockdown following the outbreak of COVID-19 in March.<\/p>\n

This year, the exhibition will run under the theme, \u201cShowcasing the New Normal for Business and Industry: Realities and Opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
