IXCIO

WHX Johannesburg · 6–8 October 2026 · Gallagher Convention Centre, Midrand

Exhibiting at WHX? Let's talk about South Africa.

IXCIO will be at WHX Johannesburg meeting manufacturers and distributors who are weighing up the South African market. If your device is approved in the US, EU or UK and you need a local regulatory entity, we should meet.

Before the event

Get a read on your pathway

Send your product details now and arrive at WHX knowing roughly what South African entry involves for your device: likely classification, whether registration is required yet, and what a local licence-holder arrangement would look like.

At WHX

Meet on the floor

IXCIO is attending as a visitor, not exhibiting. Book a time and we'll come to your stand, or meet in the venue. Twenty minutes is enough to establish whether South Africa is worth pursuing and what it would take.

After the event

A written assessment

For manufacturers who want to proceed, IXCIO provides a focused market-entry assessment: pathway, classification, reliance position, representation requirements and a recommended structure.

Who this is for

  • Manufacturers with FDA, CE or UKCA approval and no South African registration
  • SaMD and AI-enabled device companies unsure how their product is classified here
  • Companies with a South African distributor lined up but no licensed local responsible entity
  • Distributors who need a regulatory partner to bring an international principal into the market

Who it isn't for

IXCIO doesn't offer customer accounts, payment processing or an automated regulatory opinion. Every assessment is done by a person, for a specific product.

Product-assessment checklist

Bring what you have. The more of this we see before we meet, the more useful the meeting.

  • Device name and intended use
  • Reference-market classification and approvals
  • Does it include software or AI/ML?
  • Quality-system certification
  • Existing South African partners, if any
  • Target segment: private hospitals, public tenders, clinics, consumer
  • Timeline: when do you want to be selling in South Africa?
