Morocco has been selected to host the first edition of Industrial Transformation Africa (ITAF), a major international event focused on accelerating industrial development across the continent. The event is scheduled to take place from October 27 to 29, 2026, at the Office des Changes in Casablanca.
Organized by the global events company Messe Frankfurt, ITAF is modeled after the successful Industrial Transformation Asia-Pacific series. The event aims to serve as a central platform for showcasing advanced manufacturing technologies, fostering knowledge exchange, and building connections between African industrial ecosystems and global partners.
The launch of ITAF in Morocco aligns with the country's strategic push to position itself as a continental industrial and trade hub. The event is expected to attract key stakeholders, including government officials, industry leaders, and technology providers, to discuss trends in automation, digitalization, and sustainable manufacturing.
