East Afripack in Nairobi, Kenya from 12th to 14th October 2016
The exhibition was added to the list of strategic exhibitions enjoying Government support for the development of Made in Italy products on international markets
The second edition of East Afripack will be held in Nairobi (Kenya) from October 12th to 14th 2016. This processing, packaging and converting exhibition has been recognized as an important contribution to the emerging economies in sub-Saharan East Africa. East Afripack was added to the list of key exhibitions promoting the Italian manufacturing and industrial sector on foreign markets developed by the Ministry for Economic Development.
Organized by Ipack-Ima Spa in joint venture with PMMI, the Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies in the USA and in partnership with UNIDO, EAC and the Ministry of Industrialization and Enterprise Development of Kenya, East Afripack 2016 will receive the support provided by the Italian Government in its Extraordinary Plan 2015-2017 developed to increase the competitiveness of Italian exhibitions which are ranked fifth on the international ranking. The Plan will fund specific actions identified as strategic for the development of SMEs in new markets.
East Afripack 2016 which comes back to the Kenyatta International Conference Center (KICC), Nairobi, is rooted in the success obtained by the exhibition’s debut in 2014 and the significant rebooking requests received from over 50% of the 136 international exhibitors.
Starting from the 2016 edition, East Afripack will benefit from a new important logistics base: the Ipack-Ima representative office managed by AgroTEQ, Nairobi. The CEO of AgroTEQ is Dr. Mpoko Bokanga, the former UNIDO Representative in Kenya, Eritrea and South Sudan and a renowned expert in the field of agro-industrial development, particularly in the areas of technology upgrade needs and agro-food vale chain development. He coordinated UNIDO’s involvement in the preparation and implementation of the first edition of East Afripack.
Initiatives leading up to East Afripack 2016 include the global launch at Fieramilano during IPACK-IMA 2015 on 19 May 2015, and an institutional area set up within IPACK-IMA 2015 at Fieramilano (from May 19th to 23rd) dedicated to East African Community Partner Countries (Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda). Throughout IPACK-IMA and in conjunction with the EXPO 2015 the area will welcome African exhibitors and institutions to establish contacts and develop relationships in view of the 2016 edition of East Afripack.
In line with its commitment to contribute to technology upgrade and to focus the importance of packaging as a strategic springboard for the technological upgrade and increased competitiveness of local SMEs, the East Afripack brand will organize once again a scientific conference that will take place in Uganda at the beginning of 2016 emphasizing on development priorities of the East Africa region.
East Afripack is powered by: Ipack-Ima Spa
In Joint venture with: PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies
In partnership with: UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization), EAC (East African Community) and the Ministry of Industrialization and Enterprise Development of Kenya.
