Africa is a dynamic market and one in which the opportunity is surpassed only by the challenging logistics required. Due to the uncertainty in the Middle East , combined with the piracy threat in the Red Sea and Northwest Indian Ocean, the South Africa route for many trades has become increasingly important. Africa's importance in the market increases with the growing mining and construction projects based there.

The Breakbulk Africa Congress will bring together top cargo owners from around the world who have interests in Africa as well as the community that serves their logistics needs. In addition to two full days of educational programming, this event will include four sessions of SpeedMeetings that move participants quickly from introduction to identifying business opportunities.
