The South African government places industrial policy among the key interventions for driving growth. At its core is the manufacturing industry, which faces a rapidly changing global environment shaped by supply chain shifts, climate change, and technological advances. This calls for closer assessment of the implications for South Africa.
TIPS is hosting a three-part Development Dialogue series on key manufacturing subsectors, focusing on sustainability, technological change, and the evolving trade environment.
The first dialogue examined sustainability issues in the iron and steel, automotive, and plastics industries. The second dialogue, which has also been completed, explored how digitalisation, automation, and innovation are reshaping South Africa’s manufacturing sector. The final dialogue will focus on international trade trends and their implications for the country''s industrial developments.
