Informa Markets has signed a new Memorandum of Understanding with Egypt’s Unified Procurement Authority (UPA) and Global Conference Management (GCM) to drive the growth of Africa Health ExCon, one of Africa’s fastest-growing healthcare exhibitions and conferences.
The partnership will enable Informa Markets to enhance the global presence of the event, which has been held annually in Egypt since 2022.
The collaboration aims to strengthen Africa Health ExCon’s influence, attract international investment, and highlight Egypt as a regional hub for healthcare innovation and procurement.
Peter Hall, president for Middle East, India, Türkiye & Africa at Informa Markets, said: “This partnership reflects the core mission of Informa Markets – to build bridges and strengthen collaboration in the healthcare industry.
“Working with UPA and GCM to co-organise Africa Health ExCon in 2026 allows us to expand its reach and impact. It also enables us to support a country that is now a regional hub for procurement, manufacturing and health-system excellence.”
Dr Hisham Stait, chairman of Egypt’s Unified Procurement Authority, added: “Partnering with Informa Markets allows us to attract international manufacturers, investors, and policymakers.
“We see Informa Markets as a strategic partner that will bring the expertise, networks and global visibility needed to amplify Africa Health ExCon, elevate its impact, and allow us to showcase Egypt’s progress on a global stage.”
The MoU will see the three organisations pooling their expertise to boost the exhibition’s innovation and partnership objectives.
In combining global networks, local knowledge, and organisational experience, they aim to strengthen Africa Health ExCon as a premier event for healthcare professionals, investors, and policymakers across Africa and beyond.
With this new collaboration, organisers are preparing for a stronger Africa Health ExCon in 2026, with rich international participation and enhanced opportunities for networking, investment, and sector growth.
