The African continent is full of economic challenges. Especially Africa’s enormous oil and gas reserves, its numerous copper mines, large aluminium deposits and expanding regional steel industry have moved the continent into the focus of international investors more than ever before. Ambitious infrastructure projects fuel the local economy which, in turn, seeks foreign know-how for implementing these measures. International manufacturers of machinery and equipment for the wire and cable industries and the producers of tube making and finishing machines are therefore highly sought-after partners for industry. Wires, cables and tubes are required in mining and the energy sector and in infrastructure. The high-calibre conference aims to bring together local suppliers and international experts to discuss future joint investment and ventures. The current investment climate as well as the political framework and economic conditions will be illustrated and discussed by local and international experts and serve as a decision-making tool for potential foreign investors interested in Africa’s industries.
