Since recent international investments in the continent’s renowned mineral resources, market growth has seen a predicted surge and consequently equipment developments have increased, exportation has seen a growth of opportunities and complexities, and overall supply and demand has increased in relation to the world’s economy and manufacturing abilities.
With continual developments within the region, and with specific focus given to South Africa, we aim to address future investment plans, business opportunities and the complexities of the supply chain, all while assessing the direction of the economy as a consequence.
Forecasting for the largest African industrial gas conference to date, we look forward to releasing more details about the agenda and speakers, shortly.

John Raquet; African Gases Conference 2010
“I think it’s been a very positive meeting, people seem to have met new people, new contacts, and new friends. The aim of the gasworld conference is very simply to bring the gases community together in each region that we bring the gases conference to. I think we have been very successful and achieved this, and believe that our motto ‘discuss, debate, converse’ stands.”
