How the IoT of reshaping Africa’s manufacturing industry: focus on Food & Beverage

In the past decade, economic ties between China and many African countries have deepened. As the massive infrastructure build-up continues, industrial projects also abound. The global trend of digital transformation of the industry, termed “Industry of the Future” by French industrial policymakers and in which China has emerged as a new leader, most recently with the “New Infrastructure” initiative driven by 5G, is alive and well on the African continent.

For this special session of the “Industry of the Future” working group, co-organized by the African Chamber of Commerce (Afcham) and the French Chamber of Commerce in China (CCI FRANCE CHINE), we have invited two players in the Africa-China trade: Jilles Djon, founder of Bell Telecom Engineering Corporation and Director at the Afcham, and Bass L. Cheng, founder of AfricaPay, to share their recent experience of how the IoT of reshaping Africa’s manufacturing industry, with a focus on the Food & Beverage sector.

This unique event will be held on site at the CCI FRANCE CHINE office in Shanghai and simultaneously relayed as a Webinar. The Working Group is coordinated by Bruno Lhopiteau, Managing Director of Siveco China, active in China and on the Belt & Road, most particularly in African infrastructure projects.
