The event is currently supported by South African Tourism, The City of Cape Town and Wesgro because it is aligned with national governments ambitions to embrace the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Catalyst Africa is contributing to these ambitions by equipping South African companies and individuals with the necessary skills to harness the opportunities available in the new world.

“We are actioning the national conversation around Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies into one of building a growth mindset, igniting positive change and sharing knowledge amongst thinkers and doers,” says Roy Harman, co-founder of Catalyst Africa.

Catalyst Africa is dedicated to helping South African people and businesses achieve their goals through celebrating the convergence of technology, creativity and mindset.

Multiple session formats taking place simultaneously enable attendees to choose their own experience and educational content, presented by a host of leaders from world-class educational institutions, successful business people and leading technical experts.

“The most unexpected discoveries happen when diverse topics and people come together. Our concern is with the actual doing or use of knowledge rather than with theory and ideas to ensure Catalyst Africa attendees are both inspired and equipped to action their ideas” says Dale Imerman, co-founder of Catalyst Africa.

“The City of Cape Town is a proud host and supporter of Catalyst Africa. The event will help strengthen and promote Cape Town’s status as an African business hub that supports big ideas. Cape Town was recently named Africa’s leading digital hub because we offer a place for innovation with the necessary infrastructure and tools for growth. This is a reflection of our government’s commitment to creating an environment conducive for job creation, leading to many continuing to see Cape Town as an opportunity city. We look forward to hosting Catalyst Africa in October and providing a space for innovation,” says Cape Town Executive Mayor, Dan Plato.
