Innocentrix presents one of the most robust conferences for SA corporates, pioneers and wild heads, who regard innovation as a strategic priority, with more than 20 local and international speakers getting together next week to talk staying at the edge - and creating the future of Africa!  

Innovation in Africa, its potential impact on the SA economy and new business models for growth will be discussed in Midrand this week. Local and global speakers will share case studies and talk about the latest business trends and the opportunity it presents for the continent.
