Africa Automation Indaba 2026 is close to selling out with less than two months remaining until the event, organizers announced, as registrations reach an all-time high for the continent’s leading industrial automation and digital transformation gathering.
The two-day conference takes place May 13-14 at the Radisson Collection Hotel at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, bringing together executives, engineers, policymakers, investors and technology innovators focused on Africa’s industrial future.
The program will cover Industry 4.0 adoption across Africa, AI-driven operations and digital transformation, advances in automation, process control and industrial Internet of Things applications, and practical solutions to skills gaps and workforce readiness.
The event is supported by principal association partner SAIMC and strategic global partner Aluminium China, alongside platinum sponsor Interlynx, gold sponsor Allpronix and silver sponsors RJ Connect and LAPP. Exhibitors will showcase technologies transforming sectors including mining, energy, manufacturing and infrastructure.
Organizers said the Indaba provides a platform for meaningful dialogue between industry leaders, innovators and policymakers as African industries accelerate adoption of automation and smart manufacturing technologies. Delegates seeking to attend are advised to register promptly given the limited availability.
