Africa Rail 2025

Exhibitions & Trade Fairs

Johannesburg

Africa Rail has grown to become the largest and most established rail event in Africa. Africa Rail now enters its 27th successful year, hosting over 30 African countries, 150 global speakers and the best suppliers in rail from across the globe.

Our mission is to maintain this forum as the industry meeting place where industry professionals come to see the latest in rail and transport innovation and tech, learn how to deliver bankable and sustainable projects as well as the newest signalling and digitisation trends.

From humble beginnings as a small conference with a handful of exhibition stands, Africa Rail has become the undisputed leader and an unrivalled platform for the continent’s railways industry to come together, to learn, to network and to do business.

Our event is a multi-brand exhibition with thousands of attendees and a ground breaking conference. Every year, we welcome rail operators, government, large end users, disruptors and innovators, all looking to procure from, and collaborate with the best in the world.

Oracle, IRZ Lokomotiv, Transnet, PRASA, GE Transportation, Siemens, MTU, Voith… just to name a few, have all leveraged Africa Rail as their once-a-year opportunity to meet and do business with new and existing customers.

Our partners and solution providers are global leaders and innovators like you. Africa Rail is your once-a-year opportunity for you to meet and do business with new and existing customers.

It provides you with access into African railway markets that are traditionally difficult to penetrate. And most importantly, the show allows you to meet real buyers.
