Africa’s Premier Anti-Counterfeiting, Market Security & Authentication Week
November 5–7, 2026 | Lagos, Nigeria
Three days. 1,500+ delegates. 140+ solutions.
Where Africa’s fight against illicit trade meets technology, policy, identity systems, and market-security innovation.
Theme 2026: United Against Counterfeiting — Securing Markets, Strengthening Trust, Protecting People
Counterfeiting drains over $90 billion from African economies each year — threatening public safety, undermining manufacturers, weakening government revenue, and eroding confidence in legitimate trade. From fake medicines and industrial parts to tampered packaging, ID fraud, and illegal online sales, the threat now spans products, documents, identity systems, packaging, supply chains, and digital platforms.
The Africa Anti-Counterfeiting & Market Security Summit & Expo 2026 brings together global solution providers, regulators, secure-document specialists, identity authorities, technology innovators, manufacturers, brand owners, and distributors to address these challenges from every angle. It is the continent’s only event that unites anti-counterfeiting, authentication, market security, supply-chain integrity, and document protection under one roof.
Across three high-impact days in Lagos, delegates will explore the latest advancements in authentication and traceability, serialization and digital identity, secure-document and tax-stamp systems, supply-chain integrity tools, track-and-trace platforms, brand-protection intelligence, and cyber and e-commerce enforcement.
This is Africa’s complete ecosystem event for market security.
The Africa Anti-Counterfeiting, Market Security & Authentication Week 2026 brings together the people and solutions shaping Africa’s response to counterfeit trade.
