Africa's industrial buyers travel to fewer shows than their European or Asian counterparts. Picking the right two or three exhibitions a year covers most of the buying centres on the continent.
The shows that matter
- Electra Mining Africa — Johannesburg (mining, industrial, electrical)
- Propak Africa — Johannesburg (packaging, plastics, printing)
- Plastics & Rubber Indaba — South Africa
- Egypt's Industrial Summit — Cairo
- Morocco Foodexpo & ManufacturingExpo — Casablanca
What buyers are looking for
Cost-effective capex with strong local service. Suppliers offering training, financing and a local agent move from short-list to PO meaningfully faster than those who don't.
