Loading player...
Proudly South African’s annual Buy Local Summit & Expo will this year be a hybrid event live streaming from the IDC’s headquarters in Sandton. Now in its 10th year, the Summit & Expo seeks to educate, inform and assist anyone with an interest in creating jobs and re-building the economy using local procurement as a lever for growth. Registration is free and delegates can join in any of the sessions.

The event’s objective are multiple, namely to ensure that all tiers and agencies of government are aware of their roles and responsibilities relating to the PPPFA, to encourage corporate South Africa to increase its uptake of locally sourced and manufactured goods and services required for their day to day operations, and to educate consumers on labels of origin and their role in contributing to job creation by making buy local choices. In addition, the event creates access to market opportunities for member companies and enterprise and supplier development beneficiaries of our sponsors and large member companies, and promotes locally made products and services through the exhibition.
