The ColdChainer Briefing

What it is

A continental-scale medical and pharma trade show run by Egypt's Unified Procurement Authority (UPA), which drew 43,503 visitors from 125 countries and 368 exhibitors across 60,000 sqm in 2025. Programming spans pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, laboratory supplies, packaging and nutrition, with a recurring push on African vaccine localization and manufacturing (Egyptian Vaccine Manufacturers Alliance). It is co-hosted with public-health bodies and framed around equitable health-technology access for Africa.

Why it matters

The vaccine and pharma manufacturing capacity being built in Egypt and across Africa is what sets downstream cold chain demand, and this is where procurement authorities, manufacturers and distributors align supply commitments. Cold chain vendors use it to reach African health ministries, unified-procurement buyers and hosted-buyer delegations in one place. There is no dedicated cold chain programme, so relevance runs through the pharma, vaccine and medical-supply tracks.

Who you'll meet

State procurement officials (UPA and African counterparts), pharma and vaccine manufacturers, medical-device and packaging suppliers, hospital and pharmacy operators, and hosted buyers from across the continent. Public-health agencies and regulators feature in the conference sessions. The room skews to commercial and procurement decision-makers rather than logistics specialists.
