This call comes
within the framework of Sudan’s adoption
of policies that aim at achieving
economic stability, increase of the
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth
rates and an increase of the national
income, which will positively be
reflected on the macro economy
performance, and hence the realization
of comprehensive economic and social
development. |
Bearing
all these goals in mind, the Ministry of
Industry is going to organize the Second
Industrial Technologies Fair for our industrial
institutions and investors to get acquainted
with the modern industrial technologies that
will assist in the promotion and development of
the domestic production and increase its
competitiveness. The fair will also provide
opportunities for making new partnerships among
investors and open a new range of cooperation
between the Sudanese industrial sector and the
producers of technologies and industrial inputs
all over the world.
The fair
offers an opportunity for the exchange of
experiences and economic relations, since
superior, outstanding and reputable global
companies and most of the domestic, regional and
international institutions are going to
participate, which paves the way for cooperation
between Sudan and many countries of the world,
and opens wide doors and new avenues of
investment. We, therefore, have the honor of
inviting all the producers of industrial
technologies and industry inputs, as well as all
the banks and finance institutions from all over
the world to participate in this fair, which
constitutes a good chance for all who desire to
open new domains of economic cooperation with
Sudan.
I would
like to take this opportunity to express my
gratitude and appreciation for your response and
participation in this important event.

Industry
in Sudan
Sudan
enjoys huge agricultural resources (plant and
animal), as well as various types of energy and
mining resources and skillful manpower at
reasonable cost, which constitutes a base for
comprehensive industrial development. The
concern about manufacturing industry lies in the
fact that this sector is an important sector in
transforming these resources into commodities
and products of high quality and value, to be
used for intermediate and final usage. The
application of the programs of economic reform
and structural adjustments in the economy have a
positive impact on the manufacturing industry
sector, through the intensification of its
participation in the national economy, the
enhancement of its competitive capacity and the
widening of its productive base.
The
manufacturing industry sector contributed to
8.4% of the GDP in Sudan in 2006, with a growth
rate of 7%
Direct
meetings between sellers and purchasers
The fair
provides an opportunity to have direct meetings
between the producers of industrial technologies
and production inputs on one side and the
industrialists who desire to modernize the
industries on the other side, and the financers
on the third side. The Ministry of Industry will
host these meetings, in their individual or
group nature. The banks public
and private
will be attendant at the fair in order to
participate in the selling and buying processes.
The industry experts in Sudan estimate the cost
of modernizing the industrial sector to be
around hundreds of millions of dollars during
the coming three years. These costs comprise
the
acquisition of
new
machinery, equipment , appliances, maintenance
work, the introduction of new and modern
technology and progressive work styles, as well
as availing production inputs for all these
industries.
