Healthcare is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by innovation, technology, investment and new models of collaboration. At the same time, Africa presents significant opportunities for businesses and investors looking to expand into new healthcare markets.

The South African Chamber of Commerce UK (SACC UK), together with Africa 6th Region Global (African Union), Medical Device Manufacturers SA (MDMSA), the South African Medical Association (SAMA) and Innovative Entrepreneurs NPC, is bringing these opportunities into focus through the AfCFTA Health Trade, Investment & Innovation Series, proudly sponsored by BMW.

The series will connect healthcare leaders, investors, medical technology companies, government, entrepreneurs and strategic partners from South Africa, the UK and across Africa.

The forums will explore practical opportunities in:

• Healthcare innovation, AI and medical technology
• Investment and commercialisation
• Medical device manufacturing and supply chains
• Regulation, procurement and market access
• Public-private partnerships and healthcare infrastructure
• African healthcare manufacturing
• Opportunities created by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)
• B2B and B2G partnerships

A key feature will be the AI-enabled SME Development Platform, highlighting how technology can help accelerate the growth of SMEs operating in the healthcare sector.
