World Bank Group Global Manufacturing Conference

Manufacturing for Jobs, Value Addition, and Prosperity

Today’s manufacturing businesses are quickly being reimagined by new technologies, shifting value chains, and a global push to become more competitive and resilient. This October, the business and policy leaders who are managing that change will convene in Cairo for a dynamic discussion focused on the future of manufacturing.

Over three days, attendees will share practical insights, exchange ideas with peers, and explore new opportunities for collaboration and investment. A range of topics, from job creation and competitiveness to the role of Artificial Intelligence and robotics in manufacturing, will be addressed during executive dialogues and panels. A dedicated Africa Day on 26 October anchors the conversation on the continent's industrial future.

The Conference brings together CEOs, COOs, and C-suite leaders from manufacturing firms; ministers and senior officials; investors and development finance institutions; and leading industry experts.

For over a decade, the Global Manufacturing Conference has been the premier forum for public and private sector leaders shaping global industry. Cairo continues that tradition.
