Infrastructure conference coming up

A high-level line-up has been assembled for Africa’s Transport infrastructure show to be held on June 25-26 in Johannesburg. The event, now in its 16th year, is designed to assist operators, endusers, investors and government to optimise their investment into solid infrastructure for railways, aviation, ports and harbours. “Infrastructure is not cheap. The huge investments required to build railways, invest in aviation as well as ports and harbours must be carefully planned, not only because of their great cost, but also because, once built, infrastructure is around for decades. Investments in transport infrastructure have a long horizon,” said a spokesman organisers. The show will address some of these issues. More than 90 exhibitors and over 2 500 participants from all across the globe are expected at the event. Senior representatives from the likes of Transnet, the Department of Trade and Industry, Kenya Ports Authority, Ghana Ports Authority and Botswana Railways will be presenting at the conference.
