The Vision to Reality awards programme celebrates emerging companies with tech-enabled solutions spanning across all industries. The programme aims to encourage companies with the best high-growth potential to become market leaders, and to inspire future start-ups.
These awards are designed to recognise and honour companies whose innovative tech-enabled solutions will have a significant impact on the growth of the African continent. To be successful requires vision and leadership, financial accomplishment, strategic direction and innovation. These companies have made a difference in Africa by having the courage to share their visions, and then turn them into reality in the form of revenues and growth in their particular industry.
The 2015 Vision to Reality awards acknowledge the company that has best demonstrated the commercialisation of a tech-enabled solution and is on a viable growth path for national and/or international expansion.
Come 28 August 2015, the finalists will pitch at the PwC Pitching Den at the SA Innovation Summit. The top 10 companies will be drawn here and will enter into PwC’s mentorship programme with access to local and global industry players.
The overall winner will go to the global PriceWaterhouseCoopers Accelerator conference where PwC’s Accelerator team promote the flagship companies selected by PwC’s Accelerator worldwide to enhance their visibility and credibility.
