German Business Delegation Trip to South Africa
Meet German companies from the Textile Machinery Industry
We cordially invite you to join us for an initiative supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).
As part of a business trip, a delegation of seven German companies, renowned for their high-quality and innovative technologies, products, and services in the textile machinery industry, will visit Johannesburg and Durban in March 2025.
The purpose of this visit is to showcase German expertise in this sector and foster new collaborations and partnerships between South African and German companies. The German delegates aim to contribute their knowledge and offerings to the South African textile industry, creating opportunities for mutual growth and development.
The program includes two major symposiums in Johannesburg and Durban, highlighting Germany’s innovations, technologies, and industry leadership. We invite companies, industry professionals, and government representatives to attend the symposiums in Johannesburg on the 25th of March and in Durban on the 27th of March 2025. These events offer a valuable opportunity to explore potential areas for cooperation and engage in knowledge exchange between Indian and German counterparts.
Additionally, we encourage you to take full advantage of this event by scheduling one-on-one B2B meetings with the German companies. These meetings can be arranged either at a central location or at your company’s premises.
This is a great chance to explore new business opportunities and discover potential synergies and partnerships with German participants. To schedule your individual B2B meetings, please directly contact the project responsible, Stef Van der Walt (AHK Southern Africa), or register here.
The project is carried out by Southern-frican German Chamber of Commerce and Industry NPC in cooperation with SBS systems for business solutions GmbH under the auspices of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action and with support from VDMA Textile Machinery. The event is free of charge, as it is funded by the German Ministry, but requires prior registration.
