Manufacturing Indaba 2022

This year’s Manufacturing Indaba will be a physical in-person conference and exhibition with the theme “Reigniting economic growth through manufacturing”.

Given the impact of the pandemic, all nations require and rightly aspire to efficient industrial bases to meet changing needs in a globalised world. South Africa has developed an established and diversified manufacturing base that has shown its resilience and potential to compete in the global economy.

Collaboration and investments by both the public and private sectors in manufacturing are essential for regional and continental growth. The annual Manufacturing Indaba aims to bring together manufacturing business owners, industry leaders, government officials, capital providers and professional experts to explore opportunities and grow their manufacturing operations.

The Manufacturing Indaba is a leading manufacturing event in sub-Saharan Africa. The 2022 edition will focus on the future of manufacturing in Africa post the pandemic.

Key issues to be discussed include:

• Securing consensus to build an inclusive and sustainable domestic economy.
• AfCFTA – The Game Changer: unlocking opportunities for regional value chain integration under AfCFTA.
• Operation Vulindlela: driving structural reforms to support growth and employment.
• Financing the economic recovery: Critical constraints and opportunities for public and private sector financing of the industrial economy.
• Leadership Innovation: how to reinvent your business model in a post-pandemic economy – manufacturing CEO’s experiences from the field.
• Mining and industrialisation: the mining and manufacturing interface – developing a shared perspective for industrialisation across the value chain.
• Leveraging the energy mix for manufacturing: exploring the prospects and opportunities of South Africa’s future energy mix,
• Skills and manufacturing sector: the skills deficit and mismatch in the domestic manufacturing sector.
• Digital innovation for manufacturing: digital technology application and innovation in South Africa’s industrial sectors – how critical is digitalisation for building globally competitive manufacturing companies and sectors?
• Localisation: The business/government model for collaboration and high impact in the manufacturing sector.
• Growing IDZ and SEZs: the role of Industrial Development ZONES (IDZ)) and Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in South Africa’s post-pandemic economic recovery.
