Innovation Intelligence. Sense it - get It!
The theme for 2015, 'Innovation Intelligence,' seeks to address the mystery of creating that illusive competitive edge through new and convergent thinking. This exciting theme will be unpacked at the SA Innovation Summit through a full and varied programme that will include a local and international plenary, panel debates, break-away sessions, highly interactive workshops and an in-depth matchmaking service, facilitated by industry professionals. The summit will look closely at the key challenges faced by entrepreneurs, developers, researchers, thought leaders, inventors and investors, as well as proposing inventive solutions and powerful tools to overcome these challenges. Participants can expect mind-opening experiences that seek to influence and lead current thinking in the field of innovation and the problems ordinary South Africans face.
