TRADE DEVELOPMENT FORUM – DISCUSSING THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS IN AFRICA

More than 17 countries exhibit at SAITEX to promote and secure trade agreements for the export of their leading products into Africa.

These high-level trade discussions at SAITEX means the event also attracts government officials, diplomats, entrepreneurs and business leaders from around the world.

To foster further dialogue at influencer level, a new three-day conference has been introduced at SAITEX. The Trade Development Forum provides a platform for intra-Africa trade discussions where key subjects include the new African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).

The AfCFTA will open Africa up in an EU-style single-trade market. This could offer significant improved opportunities. Join us at the The Trade Development Forum where the dti will unpack the AfCFTA and it’s related features and benefits.

Other key subjects on the discussion agenda includes SADC country spotlights, provincial showcases and key programmes highlighted by the Gauteng government.

THE EXHIBITION

More than 140 exhibitors from 17 countries showcase thousands of products across all major import and export categories including clothing & fashion accessories, IT products, pharmaceuticals, electronics, homewares, tools & hardware, chemicals and much more.

For suppliers looking to set up a trading chain and movement of products within Africa, SAITEX provides an audience of thousands of new business contacts and buyers.
