Bauma Conexpo Africa 2018
Bauma Conexpo Africa will take place from March 13th–16th, 2018 at the Johannesburg Expo Centre (JEC), South Africa.
According to the African Development Bank (AfDB), the African economy has turned the corner: as of next year, a positive economic recovery is anticipated on the back of infrastructure investments.
The President of the AfDB, Akinwumi Adesina, announced in an interview in September 2016 that the African economy is set to grow by 3.5% in 2016; for the year after expectations were for 3.7%, and 4.2% for 2018.
He said that there were 19 African countries whose growth was between three and five percent, and 21 countries whose economy would grow by more than 5%.
The previous Bauma Conexpo Africa in September 2015 was attended by a total of 616 exhibitors from 42 countries and approximately 14,300 visitors from 75 countries.
A total of 13% of visitors came from outside South Africa with a significant percentage increase from the sub Saharan region.
The organisers are expecting more than 600 exhibitors and 15,000 visitors for the forthcoming event.
More than 68,000 square metres of exhibition space is available.
