Source Africa is the premier sourcing event on the African continent, bringing together suppliers, manufacturers, service providers and buyers all under one roof.
The primary reason for Source Africa is to promote African made apparel, textiles and footwear, and to encourage interaction on a regional and international level. The event also aims to boost investment into the region and ensure sustainable job creation within the sector.
Owned by Messe Frankfurt, the third largest trade fair company in the world with operations in over 50 countries and the global leader in textile fairs. Source Africa supplements Messe Frankfurts current portfolio of textile related trade shows under the umbrella of their ‘Texpertise Network.’
