The SA Innovation Summit has grown into a premier event on the annual South African Innovation

calendar. Created to support and promote innovation and facilitate collaboration among multi-helix

actors, the SA Innovation Summit is a crucial tool to inspire sustained economic growth. The outcomes

achieved by the Summit, amplify and revive South Africa’s renowned competitive edge and it is a powerful

tool to bring together thought leaders and connect with peers. The theme for the 2016 Innovation

Summit was Accelerate. Innovate. Ignite! What this means is that we were looking beyond great ideas; we

were interested in how great ideas become innovations and how these innovations could be accelerated

to reach the market for social, environmental and/or financial impact. The Summit provided the tools,

knowledge, networking and funding opportunities, as well as hosted connectors such as competitions,

discussions and introductions necessary to help take innovations from idea to market.

Participation in the SA Innovation Summit meant rubbing shoulders with prominent Innovation

practitioners!

platforms at the Summit, for instance the Match and Invest business matching event, the VentureBurn

Pitching Den and the Inventors Garage competition.

– with business leaders and innovative movers and shakers igniting the stage, along with entrepreneurs,

artists and entertainers. The focus was motivation and igniting the fire of innovation.

SUMMIT CONCLUDES WITH A CELEBRATION OF INNOVATION

IMMEDIATE RELEASE 2 November 2016After four days of igniting, innovating and accelerating opportunities to take our country and its innovators

to the next level; South Africa’s favourite innovation conference, the SABC Education SA Innovation

Summit 2016, concluded on Saturday, 24 September 2016. The Summit mesmerised delegates by hosting

various activities such as the Market on the Edge, the Inventor’s Garage, CEO panel discussions and

the Ventureburn Pitching Den at the Birchwood Hotel in Ekhuruleni from Thursday, 21 to Saturday, 24

September 2016.

“A key takeaway from the Summit is that there are a lot of opportunities in this country. All that we need

to do is keep innovating and tap into our networks, such as the ones provided by the Summit,” says

Audrey Verhaeghe, chairperson of the SABC Education SA Innovation Summit 2016.

One of the highlights of the conference was the Ventureburn Pitching Den. The pitching den provided

bright startups with an opportunity to present their ideas to a panel of judges. After two successful

days of presentations, delvv.io

was awarded the winning pitch at

the award ceremony. Delvv.io is a

platform that provides professional

feedback for creative concepts, in

order for businesses or individuals

to test the effectiveness of their

concept before launching it.

Trevor Wolfe, the brainchild behind delvv.io, will be representing South Africa at the Startup World Cup

2017, hosted by Fenox Venture Capital, in Silicon Valley, San Francisco on Friday, 24 March 2017. “In order

to be considered for the Startup World Cup, Pitching Den finalists were evaluated according to their

scalability, possible revenue, marketing strategy and expertise. Delvv.io fulfills all of these requirements,”

says Azola Lojitza, SABC Education SA Innovation Summit coordinator.

Delegates were also introduced to paradigm-shifting ideas, products and prototypes of the top 30 finalists

that participated in the Inventors Garage Competition. The overall winner of the Competition was the

hearScreen smart phone application (app), designed by Nic Klopper, who won R10 000 in prize money

to further his invention. The hearScreen app provides a mobile health solution for the early detection of

hearing loss.

An additional prize was awarded by Innovation Edge, a social innovation fund that assists underprivileged

children aged between three months and five years old. The organisation awarded R20 000 to Grade 11

student, Clarice Greyling, for compiling a box of educational materials that aims to teach young children

about maths, science, technology and engineering in a fun way; while adhering to the South African

school curriculum. The materials used are mostly made up of up-cycled rubbish and is accompanied by

a teacher’s manual.

“The youth was a definite focus point at the 2016 Summit,” says Verhaeghe. Educational activities that

took place at the Summit aimed to stimulate innovation from a young age and included fun events such

as: an interactive ‘MatheMagics’ show that teaches children about math in an exciting way; a Lego future

city development area where young and old got together to build their idea of a future aerotropolis (a

city developed around an airport); and a Lego robotics challenge to teach children critical thinking skills.

“Taking our future into account by concentrating on our youth led us to focus on green innovation as

well,” explains Verhaeghe. “Thought leaders addressed the importance of finding sustainable and

feasible environmentally-friendly solutions for business and the global society,” she continues. Chanru

Wadhwani, Joint Managing Director of Extrupet (the largest and most advanced recycler of polyethylene

terephthalate (PET) bottle materials on the African continent), highlighted the fact that innovation has

to be meaningful and sustainable. “Meaningful innovation is needed to ensure that solutions are scaled

to address the growing environmental issues and problems that we are faced with; most importantly, it

has to factor in efficiency,” says Wadhwani. “Luckily, events such as the SA Innovation Summit provide a

platform where critical issues, such as the need for innovative green solutions, can be brought up and

addressed,” he adds.

“This year was a very exciting year for us,” says Verhaeghe. “The 2016 Summit hosted very interesting

discussions touching on the future of innovation in South Africa and provided exciting new possibilities

to accelerate meaningful change. We look forward to a bigger and better Summit in 2017!” concludes

Verhaeghe.

use solar power and Lego in our Solar Charging Competition!
