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:

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.
