Looking forward to contributing at #GECplusAfrica26 in Cape Town. I’ll join the panel “The Accelerator Playbook: Scaling Advanced Technology Ventures in Emerging Markets.” Africa does not lack innovators. The challenge is building ecosystems that connect technology, patient capital, markets, skills and institutions so that promising innovations can move from pilots to sustainable scale. 📍 Cape Town 📅 16–17 September 2026 🔗 gecafrica.co #ConnectingAfrica #DeepTech #Innovation #Entrepreneurship

Today is not really about launching containers. It is about proving that when we combine skills + tools + infrastructure + market access + ongoing support, South African young people can build sustainable businesses. Getting ready for the SAMDDRA–W&R SETA launch this morning. The early results are encouraging. Now the question is: how do we scale? #SAMDDRA #WRSETA #JobCreation #SMMEs
