The SIRDC theme was: “Research and Development for Business Growth and a Prosperous Future”.
SIRDC showcased numerous products, including foundry castings, packaged herbal teas and potted plants, maize seed, value added food crops products, fabricated machinery for peanut butter and silage making, among others.

Another attraction at the stand were synopsis sessions on the topical Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) training that is sought after by many organisations and individuals.
