S.E.T. for socio-economic growth
Event Description
New technologies have the potential to revolutionise manufacturing industries. What is realistically feasible for South Africa? What are the challenges to realising the rich potential of technologies? How does this fit into the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR)?
This event focuses on exploring how we as industry, government and academia, can revolutionise manufacturing industries for economic growth and for the good of South African society?
This NSTF Discussion Forum is in partnership with the NSTF proSET sector (Professionals in science, engineering and technology) and is taking place at the 2019 SA Innovation Summit.
