Manufacturing Indaba 2027 – Africa's Premier Manufacturing Conference and Expo 2027
Manufacturing Indaba 2027
Manufacturing Indaba is Africa's premier manufacturing conference and expo, promoting the continent's reindustrialization. Africa holds about 15% of the world's population yet contributes only around 3% of global manufacturing output, and the event is built around closing that gap.
Dates: Tuesday 13 July – Wednesday 14 July 2027. Day 1 runs 09:00–17:00 (SAST) and Day 2 runs 09:00–15:30, with structured data listing the event from 09:00 on 13 July to 17:00 on 14 July.
Venue: Sandton Convention Centre, 161 Maude Street, Sandton, Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa.
Content: The event combines a premium conference covering localization, value-added production, AI and technology-driven innovation, and strategies to tackle deindustrialization, with an expo where manufacturers showcase products and solutions. Visitor attendance to the exhibition is free. Additional programmes include a B2B Connect Programme, a hosted buyer initiative, and free workshops and exhibition seminars. The organizers track B2B meetings held, participants, speakers, exhibitors, visitors and countries represented.
