The Sepem Martigues Edition 2025, held in June in the picturesque Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of France, emerged as a key industrial event that successfully bridged the gap between industries and consumers across Europe. This edition, being part of the renowned quarterly series organized by GL Events, highlighted the latest advancements in equipment, industrial processes, and maintenance solutions essential for driving growth and efficiency in modern industries.
Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Martigues: A Historical and Strategic Hub
The Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region is celebrated for its rich history, vibrant culture, and economic dynamism. Strategically located in southeastern France, it has long served as a gateway between the Mediterranean and Europe’s industrial heartlands. Martigues, often referred to as the “Venice of Provence” for its charming canals and bridges, served as the central attraction of this edition. The city’s unique blend of tradition and innovation made it an ideal venue to host an event focused on industrial excellence and cross sector collaboration.
Sepem’s Role in Advancing European Industry
Since its inception, Sepem has played a crucial role in connecting manufacturers and industries across France and Europe. This platform facilitates dialogue and cooperation among companies engaged in sectors such as construction, mining, telecommunications, oil and gas, industrial software developers, and various forms of production. Through its exhibitions and conferences, Sepem empowers businesses to explore new technologies, enhance maintenance practices, and improve operational processes, thus fostering sustainable industrial growth.
Opportunities for African Industries, Especially Ghana
Beyond Europe, Sepem offers invaluable opportunities for African industries, particularly from Ghana, to connect with major European industrial manufacturers. This connection is vital for African businesses aiming to enhance their capabilities through access to advanced industrial machinery and processes. The show provides a conducive environment for exploring business partnerships, investments, and technological transfer, critical for Africa’s industrial expansion and modernization.
Okwperez23’s Strategic Participation
Representing African industrial interests, Okwperez23 actively participated in Sepem Martigues 2025. Through its agent sourcing services, Okwperez23 facilitated vital B2B contacts for companies seeking to expand their operations internationally. Managing Director Kwame Oppong Amankwah engaged with several manufacturers across diverse sectors, identifying promising business opportunities for African investors and industrial players.
Okwperez23 had the opportunity to engage in a productive meeting with Patrick Bosch and his colleague from PEPPERL+FUCHS, a leading company in industrial sensor technology and telecommunication devices. The discussion focused on their advanced 5G connectivity solutions tailored for industrial and production environments, highlighting the potential for integrating smart communication systems into African industrial operations. Their expertise in enabling real time data transmission and automation positions them as key partners for industries aiming to modernize their production lines and infrastructure.
In a separate meeting, David from ABUS, a renowned manufacturer of heavy-duty cranes and lifting equipment, shared insights into the company’s robust lifting solutions for construction, mining, and manufacturing sectors. The conversation explored how ABUS's technology could support Africa’s growing industrial needs, particularly in handling large-scale materials and improving workplace safety and efficiency.
Both meetings signaled strong potential for future collaboration, as Okwperez23 continues to connect African industries with world class manufacturers and technology providers.
A highlight of Okwperez23’s presence was the positive meeting with Clément Bruneta, one of the event organizers. Discussions focused on the potential expansion of Sepem shows to Africa, with plans to organize future editions featuring industrial delegations from the continent. Such initiatives aim to bring African industry leaders face-to-face with European manufacturers, accelerating industrial cooperation and investment.
