KEY POINTS
- Electra Mining Africa runs from 7–11 September 2026 at the Johannesburg Expo Centre in Nasrec.
- More than 1,000 exhibitors will showcase mining, automation, digital, manufacturing, power and industrial technologies.
- AI, robotics, automation, sustainability and smart operations will feature prominently alongside seminars, workshops and networking opportunities.
Electra Mining Africa is set to showcase the latest technologies, equipment and services aimed at helping mining, manufacturing and other industrial businesses improve productivity, strengthen workplace safety, cut operating costs and meet increasingly demanding sustainability targets.
The major industrial exhibition will bring together technology providers, equipment manufacturers, engineering specialists and industry experts as businesses increasingly shift from simply exploring new technologies to adopting practical solutions capable of delivering measurable operational benefits.
The event is scheduled to take place from 7 to 11 September 2026 at the Johannesburg Expo Centre in Nasrec, South Africa.
Rapid developments in digital technology are transforming the way industrial organisations design, operate, monitor and maintain their facilities and equipment.
Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), industrial automation, robotics, predictive maintenance, digital manufacturing and smart operational systems are increasingly being combined to create more connected and intelligent operations.
These technologies can help businesses make faster and better-informed decisions, improve equipment performance, reduce unexpected downtime and strengthen safety across industrial workplaces.
Rather than relying on isolated digital systems, companies are increasingly looking for integrated technologies that can work together across different stages of their operations.
Electra Mining Africa will provide visitors with an opportunity to see how these technologies are moving from concepts and demonstrations into practical applications for real industrial environments.
More than 1,000 exhibitors expected
The exhibition will feature more than 1,000 local and international exhibitors, displaying thousands of products, technologies and services for the mining, manufacturing and broader industrial sectors.
The exhibition will cover a wide range of solutions, from large-scale mining equipment and industrial machinery to automation technologies, digital systems, power solutions and manufacturing innovations.
One of the key attractions of Electra Mining Africa will be the opportunity for visitors to interact directly with equipment and technologies rather than simply viewing them in catalogues or online.
Exhibitors will demonstrate a range of products and systems throughout the event, allowing attendees to examine equipment, compare solutions and engage directly with technical experts and company representatives.
For businesses considering investments in new machinery, intelligent monitoring systems, digital platforms or specialised industrial equipment, the exhibition could provide valuable insight into how different technologies operate and how they may be applied to real-world challenges.
The direct interaction between technology providers and potential users is also expected to support better-informed purchasing and investment decisions.
