# The 12th Manufacturing Indaba Conference and Exhibition is underway at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, spotlighting Made in Africa goods. Despite housing 15-percent of the global population and abundant resources, Africa contributes only three-percent to global manufacturing. The two day event promotes reindustrialisation, local production, and economic self-sufficiency. The indaba gathers leaders, businesses, and policymakers in networking and strategy sessions to drive job creation, sustainability, and inclusive growth across the continent.
