Font size: - +

Africa’s biggest stage for the future of transport is back! The Smarter Mobility Africa Summit (SMA) returns to the Sandton Convention Centre, 1–2 October 2025, bringing together the brightest minds, boldest innovators, and most influential decision-makers to redefine how Africa moves.

From electric vehicles to clean public transport, charging infrastructure to smart cities, SMA Summit is more than a conference — it’s a movement to accelerate Africa’s leap into a low-carbon mobility future.

Africa at the Center of the Global Mobility Transition

Hosted by VUKA Group, SMA Summit is not just about discussing the future — it’s about building it. With game-changing projects, funding opportunities, CEO-level dialogues, Women in Mobility leadership forums, and groundbreaking product showcases, the Summit positions Africa as a pioneer in shaping inclusive, connected, and sustainable transport systems.

“Smarter Mobility Africa is where ideas turn into action, and action turns into transformation,” says Ben Pullen, Group Director of Mobility at VUKA. “From startups pitching breakthrough solutions to global CEOs committing investment, this Summit is a catalyst for Africa’s mobility revolution.”
