Event overview

Join top industry professionals from the world’s leading export, shipping, manufacturing, oil and gas, energy, agribusiness and major stakeholders for the launch of the African Logistics Port Hub Association (ALPHA) platform in Bremen, Germany.

African Logistics Ports Hub Association (ALPHA) is a bridge and business trading hub for international logistics professionals operating and providing products and services throughout Africa, using all air and sea ports. This includes the key drivers of infrastructure and other investment projects happening all over the continent. We are pleased to introduce the ALPHA global networking platform, which will serve supply chain professionals and practitioners, including all consumers of supply chain services on the continent. Our membership will consist of a very wide range of powerful business influencers from around the world.

ALPHA was developed because of growing domestic consumer demand, rapidly increasing African infrastructural development and a steady increase in continental trade. With endless logistics opportunities becoming available as Africa places itself squarely at the centre of the global value chain, APLHA is an initiative to connect a vital continent in transition to the heart of the global supply chain market.

Speakers

Speakers at this event come from the elite within the international supply chain market, including logisticians, industry experts and representatives of companies involved in doing business in Africa within the transport, oil and gas, mining, renewables, railways, energy and agribusiness sectors.
