ABOUT
The SA Auto Week has positioned itself as Africa's leading and preeminent automotive thought leadership event. Established in 2022, the SA Auto Week has experienced a steady progressive growth in bringing together industry leaders for forward-looking discussions while we present indispensable networking opportunities for automotive professionals and other delegates attending the conference and visiting our dynamic pavilion and exhibition spaces.
Distinguished as the only annual B2B auto event of its kind in the continent, the SA Auto Week has consistently attracted global Original Equipment Manufacturers [OEMs]; vehicle component manufacturers and suppliers; lawmakers; regulatory bodies; policymakers; international investors; industry leaders and decision-makers across the entire automotive value chain. The 2025 edition of the SA Auto Week is our fourth instalment of this prestigious event, and we are proud to host this year’s event at the Coega Vulindlela Conference Centre (VACC) Gqeberha, Eastern Cape Province from Wednesday, October 01 until Friday, October 03, 2025.
Under the inspiring theme Reimagining the Future, TOGETHER, we proudly celebrate 90 remarkable years of naamsa – The Automotive Business Council – in the birthplace of South Africa’s automotive industry. This year’s event will stand as a grand tribute to the journey of South Africa’s automotive sector, honouring its legacy since 1935 and envisioning the road ahead.
At SA Auto Week, the agenda will feature impactful discussions on future innovation, cutting-edge technologies, evolving government policies, and global best practices and benchmarks — all aimed at advancing the South African automotive industry and driving economic growth.
