The 2015 edition of SA Innovation Summit is scheduled to hold at Capetown Stadium from 26 to 29 August 2015.
According to the organizers, 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 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.
For the very first time, organizers willl be presenting ‘Market on the Edge’, where you can “sense innovation” and “get innovation”. More than just an exciting, jam-packed three-day market, this is a unique opportunity to experience innovation intelligence in a truly sensory way – by seeing, touching, smelling, tasting and feeling innovation – then purchasing your favourite products. 81 new products will be showcased and there will be a host of food and beverage stalls, an electric car, Lego robotics, the Inventors’ Garage finalists, PwC Pitching Den and much, much more.
