Sanibonani from South Africa! – EuroShop on Tour in Cape Town and Johannesburg

South Africa impressed me once again – every trip to this fascinating country fills me with joy. From Cape Town to Johannesburg, the energy of the retail scene was palpable. Shortly after our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the German–South African Chamber of Commerce and presented EuroShop to many industry professionals.

In Cape Town, Workshop 17 at the V&A Waterfront provided the perfect setting. A highlight was the tour through over 450 shops featuring local and international brands – full of energy and inspiration for the retail sector.

In Johannesburg, we visited Artistry and once again inspired many interested parties for EuroShop 2026. Places such as The Old Biscuit Mill and the Woolworths flagship store show how retail creates experiences and how gastronomy plays a central role.

At EuroShop 2026, the dimension Food Service Equipment will demonstrate how culinary innovations promote economic success – from cooking and baking to to-go solutions. Smart concepts create new shopping experiences and strengthen customer loyalty.

With many new impressions, I am looking forward to EuroShop 2026 in Düsseldorf with great anticipation.
