In this age of technology anything can go viral. #SAIS2022 will explore how the positive impact of great innovations can be multiplied, scaled and go viral.

Just like THE VIRUS, how do we adapt, spread and impact in the market?

Key streams this year are:

Ecosystems that support the impact of great new ideas
Toolkits for founders to reach continental and international markets
Secrets to make a Unicorn (1-billion-dollar companies) in Africa
Trends in growth rate, impact and deal-stacks for investors, founders and supporters

We spread the good news virus of innovation on the continent by celebrating success, showcasing start-up talent, matching talent with finance and knowledge, and creating toolkits and networks at the 2022 SA Innovation Summit.

SAIS will provide you with countless opportunities pre-, during and post-event, to share brilliant ideas, showcase your solutions and products and develop relationships with the people on the event floor, online and through our vast networking opportunities.
