The Manufacturing Indaba 2026 will take place on 14–15 July 2026 at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg under the theme "Made in Africa: Scaling Growth, Shaping Trade.”

Africa’s manufacturing sector stands at a defining moment. As global supply chains shift, industrial priorities evolve, and African markets continue to expand, the continent has a unique opportunity to position itself as a globally competitive manufacturing powerhouse.

Against this backdrop, the Manufacturing Indaba 2026 will take place on 14–15 July 2026 at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg under the theme: “Made in Africa: Scaling Growth, Shaping Trade.”

Recognised as one of Africa’s leading industrialisation platforms, the Manufacturing Indaba brings together manufacturers, investors, policymakers, technology providers, logistics companies, financiers and industrial leaders from across the continent.

The event combines a high-level conference with a vital industrial exhibition that showcases the latest manufacturing technologies, industrial solutions, machinery, automation systems, energy innovations and supply chain capabilities driving Africa’s industrial growth.
