The study tested the hypothesis to establish if there is a positive relationship between the support for techno-innovative hubs by government and the growth of informal industries in Zimbabwe. The study concluded that placing informal businesses into hubs increases their growth. The study suggested that government support should be used as mechanisms that streamline informal industry development and economic wellness in Zimbabwe.
