Future of technology in Africa

Themed 'An African Evolution of Technology and Innovation' the breakfast anchored on facilitating, unpacking and encouraging dialogue on the future of technology and its impact on African lives, addressed and gave special focus to an African future fuelled by technology and creating African solutions through Innovation.

The programme included an interactive panel discussion with leading innovation experts, Matthew Blewett: Chief Investment Officer at Business Connexion, Deena Govender: Electric Mobility Specialist and Customer Relations Manager, BMW Group South Africa and Vernon Thaver, Chief Technology Officer at Cisco.

"Environments like this encourage foreign investment and help to break down social and technology barriers. When people begin to understand the relevance of technology in their particular industry or area of interest that will create value," said Blewett.

The three-day technology experience encompasses a diverse range of sectors from SMMEs the youth and various technology communities as well as the private and public sectors. This compelling movement will highlight future products and services by leading innovative brands. It is set to be the melting pot of technology and business where norms will be challenged and exciting solutions presented.
