Source Africa is now being organized from June 18 to June 20, 2014 in Cape Town, South Africa. It is a textile, apparel and footwear trade event. Source Africa matches African manufacturers, suppliers and service providers with global buyers and agents and gives industry decision makers an opportunity to examine a wide range of products, services and investment opportunities in Africa.
It features more than 200 African manufacturers, international suppliers and service providers. Buyers are from chain stores, mini-chains, independent retailers, boutiques as well as production and factory managers, trims buyers, agents, importers and other industry professionals. There will be more than 15 African country pavilions. Another important element will be a professional online matchmaking program. By effectively combining online technology together with a team of business matchmakers, event participants are profiled, provided access to an online matchmaking calendar with the ability to view and select exactly whom they want to meet.
Six of the world’s 10 fastest-growing economies between 2001 and 2010 were in Africa and the IMF says that between 2011 and 2015 African countries will account for seven of the top ten spots. Goldman Sachs has recently compared the current business opportunities in Africa with those in China in the early 1990s.
