Now in its fifth decade of bringing together the providers of industrial technology solutions with KZN’s industry professionals, the KwaZulu-Natal Industrial Technology Exhibition (KITE) is the ideal growth aid for local businesses.
KZN is primed for increased industrialisation and the cyber arena will play no small part in this development as organisations more readily and enthusiastically adopt the Internet of Things (IoT) and move forward through 4IR (Fourth Industrial Revolution) towards a future that is powered by the 5IR (Fifth Industrial Revolution).
KITE 2023 was a major success, with 4330 visitors attending the event from 18 to 20 July. Over 100 exhibitors pulled out all the stops to provide the KZN market with the very best in industrial technology. The on-stand demonstrations and seminar sessions at the free-to-attend SAIMechE Seminar Theatre were a major drawcard, and the LEEASA Conference once again provided the lifting fraternity with superb content on challenges and trends within the industry.
For the first time, this year the SAIMC hosted an ECSA Registration Workshop, which was packed to capacity. Another first for KITE was the addition of the New Products and Innovation Awards — co-hosted by SACEEC (South African Capital Equipment Export Council) and judged by Eric Bruggeman, CEO of SACEEC — the awards recognise excellence and innovation in both local and international industrial technology product design.
