August 7, 2026 - As industrial technologies continue to evolve at pace; mining, manufacturing and industrial businesses are under increasing pressure to improve productivity, strengthen safety, reduce operating costs and meet growing sustainability expectations. At the same time, advances in digital technologies are transforming how organisations design, manage and optimise their operations. The focus has shifted from exploring technological possibilities to implementing practical solutions that deliver measurable business value.

As these technologies continue to mature, organisations are moving beyond stand-alone digital solutions towards connected, intelligent operations. Industrial automation, artificial intelligence, robotics, predictive maintenance, digital manufacturing and smart operational systems are increasingly being integrated to improve decision making, optimise asset performance, reduce downtime, and improve safety in the workplace.

For industry professionals looking to explore the latest industrial technologies and solutions, Electra Mining Africa will once again bring together technology solution providers, equipment manufacturers, engineering specialists and industry experts under one roof.

Reflecting continued confidence expressed by industry, Electra Mining Africa has expanded its footprint for the 2026 edition. The exhibition has grown by 4000 m2 compared with the previous event to a record 44 000 m2 of net exhibition space. Exhibitors will occupy six indoor exhibition halls together with expanded outdoor display areas.

Taking place from 7 to 11 September 2026 at the Johannesburg Expo Centre in Nasrec, Electra Mining Africa will showcase thousands of products, technologies and services from more than 1000 local and international exhibitors. From large-scale mining equipment and industrial machinery to automation systems, digital technologies, power solutions and manufacturing innovations, the exhibition brings together a broad range of technologies, equipment and services for the mining, manufacturing and industrial sectors.

Attendees will also discover pumps and valves, welding and fabrication equipment, safety solutions, personal protective equipment, tools, components and engineering services. They will be able to compare solutions, engage directly with technical specialists and company representatives, and evaluate products designed to address real operational challenges.

While the mining, automation, electrical, power, manufacturing and transport sectors each have their own specialised technologies and expertise, today’s industrial operations increasingly rely on integrated solutions to improve productivity, efficiency and safety. Bringing these sectors together under one roof enables industry professionals to better appreciate how these complementary capabilities support smarter industrial operations.

Beyond the exhibition floor, Electra Mining Africa offers opportunities for professional development, networking and knowledge sharing through a programme of seminars and workshops. New for 2026, the SAIMechE Skills and Career Hub will encourage collaboration between industry and the education and training sector, while a range of co-located events will further reinforce the exhibition’s focus on technical excellence, innovation and industry advancement.
