Date: 9 – 21 November 2024

Location: Johannesburg

The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) South Africa and Zimbabwe is poised to host a historic regional conference, "Unlocking Sub-Saharan Africa's Potential: Transforming Transport and Logistics for a Sustainable Future," at the upcoming Futuroad Expo in Johannesburg. This landmark event aims to galvanise regional stakeholders and drive transformative change in the transport, logistics and supply chain sectors. Sub-Saharan Africa, with its burgeoning population and growing economy, offers immense potential. However, the region is also grappling with significant challenges, including a transport infrastructure deficit estimated at $100 billion and trade costs that are twice the global average. By addressing critical challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, complex regulations, and limited technology adoption, this conference will foster collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing to unlock the immense economic potential of Sub-Saharan Africa. The transport and logistics sector contributes significantly to the region's GDP, and improvements in this area could boost economic growth by up to 2% annually. We invite you to partner with us in this transformative endeavour by becoming a sponsor of the conference. Your investment will not only contribute to the success of the event, but also position your organisation as a leader in supporting Africa's economic growth and development.

Event Objectives:

To generate fresh impetus amongst regional role players and stakeholders to improve Sub-Saharan Africa's transport and logistics infrastructure through collaboration, innovation, and sustainability in order to boost economic development, safety, and regional integration.
