South Africa is the gateway to Africa and we envisage participants from Africa as well as a global contingency. The HPCI South Africa is an ideal opportunity for local and international suppliers, manufacturer and agents to network whilst stimulating growth and trade. The Society of Cosmetic Chemists South Africa (Coschem) will host their annual scientific conference in conjunction with this prestigious exhibition. The conference will focus on the dissemination of scientific information, bringing world class scientists and professionals to the African continent. Local and international presenters will be invited to present posters and papers outlining new research and developments and new materials that can be brought to market.
