Be part of South Africa's Inaugural Technology Showcase & Matchmaking Event!
The Department of Science and Technology (DST) has initiated the Innovation Bridge Technology Showcase and Matchmaking event to provide the first opportunity of its kind for national and international technology-based companies, technology entrepreneurs, investors, financiers and other technology commercialisation partners, to access the latest and best publicly funded technology offerings from South Africa’s universities, science councils and companies supported by the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA).
The inaugural Innovation Bridge event on 2 and 3 February 2015 will include technology exhibitions and demonstrations, policy dialogues and plenary discussions, training sessions and one-on-one meeting opportunities where visitors and participants can interact directly with researchers and technology developers from research and development organisations, as well as TIA-supported projects and companies.
The 2015 Innovation Bridge is brought to you by the DST, together with its partners ‑ TIA, the National Intellectual Property Management Office, and the Southern African Research and Innovation Management Association – and will be held at the CSIR International Convention Centre in Pretoria, South Africa. Going forward, it is foreseen that the Innovation Bridge event will be organised every two years as a prominent feature on South Africa’s calendar of innovation events.
