The Zambia Moment” to Launch at 2026 IBEx Toronto: A 20-Year Blueprint to Transform a Peaceful Giant into Africa’s Silicon Valley and Agro-Industrial Powerhouse

KANSAS CITY, MO – The Zambia Diaspora Chamber of Commerce (ZDCC) today announced the upcoming launch of a landmark economic manifesto, The Zambia Moment: From Land-Locked to Land-Linked, at the International Business Exchange Hybrid Conference (IBEx) in Toronto, Canada, in 2026.

Authored by Freud Musanu, President and Founder of ZDCC, the book is a surgical, 20-year blueprint designed to dismantle Zambia’s paradox of poverty amid plenty. As world leaders gather at IBEx for a solution-based working retreat, The Zambia Moment will be presented as the definitive playbook for turning a land-locked nation into Africa’s first decentralized Silicon Valley and food-secure industrial superpower.

“Zambia has been betrayed by the myth of geography and a single-commodity mindset for too long,” said Musanu. “This book is not a diagnosis; it is a covenant. It pierces into the fabric of our nation to deliver a practical, phased roadmap: immediate agricultural dominance, a diaspora-funded $5 billion stimulus, and a rural smart-city revolution that puts Zambia at the center of the global green energy transition.”

The IBEx Toronto launch will convene investors, policymakers, and diaspora leaders to operationalize the book’s core pillars, including the creation of gigafactories on the Copperbelt and a copper-backed digital currency to secure Zambia’s sovereign creditworthiness. The ZDCC views the conference as the precise moment for action, not just dialogue.
