The Digital Innovation Challenge showcase event is the culmination of a lot of effort from people representing the larger Fintech and 4IR-Tech ecosystems in the Western Cape. In itself the challenge has strengthened relationships and the ecosystems.
The challenge formed part of the Western Cape’s mandate to deliver a world-class digital ecosystem and be recognised as Africa’s Tech Capital. DEDAT approved initiatives to support five technology sector verticals, namely: Fintech, Safety-Tech, ScreenTech, TownshipTech and 4IR-Tech.
This challenge aimed to:
(1) Give Western Cape Fintech and 4IR-Tech firms the opportunity to showcase their solution to Investors, potential corporate clients and other ecosystem stakeholders.
(2) Provide the opportunity for various ecosystem stakeholders to interact in a constructive manner to create new and enhance existing business value.
(3) Publicly express Western Cape Province’s support for the Fintech and 4IR-tech ecosystems.
