The SA Innovation Summit (SAIS) is the largest start-up event in Africa. It provides different platforms for developing and showcasing African innovation in tandem with facilitating thought-leadership. The summit brings together corporates, entrepreneurs, thought-leaders and policy makers to support start-ups and inspire sustained economic growth across Africa.

The SAIS is an organisation that is devoted to entrepreneurs in all technology industries, throughout all stages, from incubation through to the entrepreneurial lifestyle. With a global reach and a local focus, the heart of the SAIS is premised on four foundational pillars:

• Originator: the SAIS sources the best start-ups in Africa and curates them according to the client criteria
• Showcaser: it provides platforms for start-ups to promote themselves
• Connector: the SAIS brings top talent and experts together to meet and form partnerships, match entrepreneurs and investors, and creates a community to share trends, opportunities, business support and knowledge
• Capacitate: the summit provides world-class masterclasses and workshops

This year, the SAIS has planned an exciting summit showcasing technology from different spheres of industry. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the summit will be going online and across the country and continent to find the most amazing tech-enabled start-ups that are solving Africa’s problems.
