Scale that Summit in Innovation Month

Following on last year's successful partnership, SABC Education will once again collaborate with the SA Innovation Summit 2017, taking place 6-8 September 2017 at the Cape Town Stadium.

“The aim is to cause an innovation revolution, with the spark already ignited, encourage discussions and action around the integration of innovation projects and policy to assist the innovators,” says Danie Swart, head of SABC Education. Summit director, Dr Audrey Verhaeghe adds, “We realised the value in this partnership.”

Two of the key speakers are Ran Neu-Ner, co-CEO of the Creative Council and Janneke Niessen, winner of the Ernst and Young Most Innovative Leader 2016. The Pitching Den and Inventors Garage competitions will feature again, where start-ups and inventors will exhibit their products and services to the judges.

With competitions, workshops, panel discussions, networking and business matching opportunities and a line-up of local and international speakers, this year’s Summit is not to be missed.

“Innovators and corporates will participate in the Pitching Den, which will allow the innovators to pitch their ideas to a wide international audience,” adds Dr Verhaeghe.
