the dti INVITES COMPANIES TO PARTICIPATE IN ANGOLAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE EXHIBITION


The Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) invites South African companies to apply to participate in the 32nd Feira International de Angola (FILDA) Trade Fair, which will take place in Luanda, Angola from 21-26 July 2015.

FILDA is a popular multi-sectoral trade fair attended by exhibitors from different sectors including oil, banking, services, trade, communications, automobile, machines and equipment, and agricultural and farming products, amongst others. Last year more than 800 companies from about 40 countries participated in the exhibition, with more than 50 000 people visiting it.

the dti will provide financial assistance to companies through its Export Marketing and Investment Assistance (EMIA) scheme to participate and showcase their products at the exhibition with the aim of increasing exports of South African manufactured products to Angola. The objective of the scheme is to develop export markets for South African products and services and to recruit new foreign direct investment into the country.

Companies that qualify to receive assistance include small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs), emerging exporters, women-owned enterprises and large companies from logistics and infrastructure, construction (civil), energy (oil and gas), mining and capital equipment, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and boat-building sectors. 


The approved companies will be provided with exhibition space, freight forwarding of display material, air travel assistance and a daily subsistence allowance.
