Increasing opportunities for
local, regional & international trade

Event background

27 YEARS OF DEFINING TRADE OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN AFRICA

When entering any emerging market, particularly in the multi-product supplier space, you need to understand your operating environment at a lightning speed. What does the future of business and trade look like? How can your business anticipate the next trend?

SAITEX is the original multi-sector trade-show allowing local and international importers and exporters to test, explore and take advantage of inbound and outbound trade opportunities within the African Region for 27 years. SAITEX facilitates tangible international and local trade relationships, whilst providing a platform for the private sector to demonstrate the innovations, solutions and services they have to offer Africa.

In response to stakeholder demand and to ensure maximum value from participating, SAITEX now offers digital access to credible content and tailor-made connections for professionals unable to attend the live event. In 2021 we are excited to host a hybrid event that will have both a live and digital element.

Delivering new trade opportunities

With 54 signatories of AfCFTA, the new trading block is forecasted to significantly boost African trade relations. According to a report from the World Bank, intra-continental exports are estimated to increase by 81% while the increase from non-African countries would be around 19%.

The trade regulations are set out to increase transparency, improve access to markets, accelerate the transition to a digital economy and develop better business services such as management tools, software, finance, marketing and e-commerce.
