LOGISTICS EVOLUTION AFRICA

THE INTERNATIONAL MEETING PLACE FOR AFRICA’S LOGISTIC SUPPLY-CHAIN

Africa is forecast to surpass half a billion ecommerce/e-tail users by 2025 and is expecting double-digit growth in the movement of cargo over the coming years. Transport infrastructure and logistics are the strategic enablers of trade and competitiveness for Africa, and the need for advanced logistics systems, has never been more crucial.

The Logistic Evolution Africa Forum & Expo 2023 brought together corporate logistics teams and service providers, from key industries such as mining, retail, automotive, logistics, health, and retail from across the logistics supply chain.

The Forum presented long-term strategies to address some of the ongoing the logistics challenges faced by industry, as well as best practices and new technology solutions needed to enhance efficiency for the handling, moving and transportation of goods throughout Africa.

With partnership development, networking, knowledge sharing and project expansion at the heart of the Forum, Africa’s entire value chain actively participates to strengthen collaboration, initiate new projects and partnerships, and implement visionary objectives.
