Manufacturing Indaba

South Africa’s economy is under pressure and as a result business confidence is in a decline. Theme: Manufacturing innovation

The aim of the Manufacturing Indaba is to bring together business owners, industry leaders, government officials, capital providers and professional experts to discuss challenges and to brainstorm solutions. The manufacturing industry continues to face tremendous challenges. A shrinking manufacturing base, supply chain challenges, human capital challenges and the threat of other emerging economies

and cheap labor continue to threaten the growth and prosperity of the South African manufacturing sector. The success of our nation depends on a strong and innovative manufacturing base. We must continue to work together to promote prosperity through manufacturing, science and innovation.
