Manufacturing Indaba Launches Africa B2B

MyPR: Manufacturing Indaba Launches Africa B2B:

Many companies are looking for new ways to access markets and clients, given the impact of COVID-19 on our economies. Current market conditions as a result of the COVID-19 lockdown, have limited the opportunity for face-2-face sales meetings. The Manufacturing Indaba has developed a new virtual event platform that solves this market dilemma. The new platform is known as Africa B2B and is a virtual business event providing 2 full days of virtual business meetings.

Africa B2B affords companies with 2 days of new local and international clients to network, engage, sell and showcase products and services. Companies are looking for platforms to network, engage and do business and Africa B2B hosts over 500 buyers and manufacturers on the virtual platform to do business with.

The first virtual B2B meeting will focus on the African Manufacturing opportunity. Market sectors to be profiled include:

• Chemicals & allied
• Energy, electrical & electronics
• Building, mining & construction
• Automation
• Automotive
• Leather & footwear
• Plastics & rubber • Furniture
• Services & consultancy
• Metal & allied
• Agriculture
• Textiles & clothing
• Food & beverages
• Paper

The virtual business matchmaking event is aimed at anyone wishing to access the new markets and new clients, including manufacturers, financiers, business trading houses, consultants and service providers. In particular the virtual event will be suited to executives and senior managers responsible for export strategy, business development, consultants and implementation agents.

All participants pay a fee to access the 2-days of business networking and are able to book and host as many meetings as they wish to have over the duration of the virtual event. This provides real access to new clients resulting in business growth.

The Wilds: Rebirth

The “rebirth” of The Wilds is one of the most heartening community success stories in modern Johannesburg history. It was spearheaded by local artist James Delaney and a dedicated group of volunteers starting around 2013. Delaney began by simply clearing dead wood and trimming overgrown paths on his own, but the project soon evolved into a massive public-private partnership. The most iconic addition to the park during this revival was the installation of over 100 laser-cut steel sculptures of animals. These brightly colored owls, giraffes, antelopes, and monkeys are perched in the trees and tucked behind rocks, turning a walk through the reserve into a scavenger hunt for “industrial wildlife.”

Today, The Wilds is a thriving, safe, and dog-friendly space that hosts yoga classes, art exhibitions, and thousands of visitors every weekend. It has become a symbol of “active citizenship”—the idea that the residents of Johannesburg don’t have to wait for the government to fix their city; they can take ownership of their own neighborhoods. The park is also a critical ecological corridor; in a city that is increasingly paved over, The Wilds provides a habitat for indigenous birdlife and insects that would otherwise struggle to survive in the “concrete jungle.”
