There are new skills to gain, new challenges to face, new experiences and of course, access to the Summit – workshops, masterclasses, discussions, exhibitions and the Match & Invest Lounge.

2020 TECHTRIBE AMBASSADORS

TechTribe Ambassador

Vusie Paye

I am a fun, vibrant young person. Who has a few achievements in the mentoring sphere, I love engaging with people from all walks of life, learning from them and just building great relationships. I am a team player because I believe that umntu ngumntu ngabantu and together we can do so much. I had volunteered in 2019, and I learnt so much and had the opportunity to meet such great unicorns. This year I believe the summit is going to be bigger and better and I would not want to miss it for anything.

TechTribe Ambassador

Penuel Nkosi

I am passionate about entrepreneurship, the SA Innovation Summit is therefore a great opportunity to ignite my entrepreneurial spirit and learn more about pitching, innovations and entrepreneurship in general. This is also a great opportunity for me to meet innovative people, entrepreneurs and like-minded students. I am a born leader, agent of change and paragon of excellence with a contagious sense of humour. I enjoy working in a team and under pressure. I believe in multi disciplinarianism and thus have multiple interests including economics, entrepreneurship, education, politics and social justice.

TechTribe Ambassador

Nomonde Malanda

I am an achiever and an Earth Dragon zodiac animal sign–smart, ambitious and hardworking. What makes me standout is the much mental energy of making sense to events, identifying problems and creating solutions. I help people understand my talent and areas of excellence as a method to motivate and encourage them to realise their very own gifts and unlimited potential. I am very optimistic about life and typically resist temptation to quit when obstacles and interruptions momentarily break my concentration. I have an enthusiasm that is contagious. I am a visionary, solution oriented young growing leader with strong business & technology acumen.

During my free time I engage with many other individuals through other voluntary work I partake in.
