Advanced manufacturing to drive industrialisation - Westar Manufacturing blog

PRETORIA: Advanced manufacturing has the potential to drive industrialisation and create sustainable jobs, says Trade and Industry minister, Rob Davies.

 

"Manufacturing is critical to the South African economy and it can be used to create new sustainable growth through the diversification of our economy. This can lead to productive, active and inclusive higher levels of advanced manufacturing and industrialisation," said Davies.

He was speaking at a two-day Annual Manufacturing Indaba in Kempton Park on Monday. The aim of the conference is to boost the growth potential of key manufacturing industry sectors, and to provide a platform for informative sessions with the prime movers of the nation's manufacturing sectors.
