ABOUT SAMDEX

Who is SAMDEX?

As a first of its kind in the sub-saharan Africa, the South African Mobile Devices Exposition (or SAMDEX) will bring together in one roof various stakeholders of the mobile devices’ industry both from the hardware and software ecosystems including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), importers, distributors, wholesalers, resellers, stockists, traders, retailers, companies, SMMEs, tech gurus, analysts, publishers, journalists, reporters, researchers, instructors, lecturers, students, professionals, regulators, policy makers, end-users, software engineers, systems and applications developers, , thus solution providers and solution seekers.

It is a great and unique occasion for South Africa and the African continent to take stock and evaluate the mobile industry offerings and opportunities for trade, businesses, exchanges, and available future options.

The GSMA report on mobile economy in Sub Saharan Africa (2021) indicates that over 600 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa will subscribe to mobile services by 2025, equivalent to 50% of the region’s population. It also states that over 150 billion US dollars of economic value added will be generated by mobile technologies and services by 2025. 

Thus, Mobile technologies will grow their innovative solutions in this digital era in the world and in Africa. South Africa and the African continent are large importers of mobile devices and mobile applications, a situation which offers rooms for operational localization with huge socio-economic benefits.

Hence, it is critical that governments and citizens of the continent learn how to leverage the potential avenues offered by the mobile industry in terms of its impact to people’s lives as well as for its ability to create employment opportunities and jobs.

SAMDEX is therefore the appropriate gathering that will see the international members of mobile devices industry converge in South Africa for 3 days exhibition and conferences for devices, products, applications launches and demonstrations, trade and commerce on hundreds of quality brands being exposed to SAMDEX visitors.

SAMDEX will become the annual referential gathering event to produce ideas, exchanges, policies and activities for manufacturing, distribution, usage and disposal of mobile devices in South Africa and the African continent.
