The Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation to host the Samdex Stakeholder and Media Breakfast

The Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, Dr Blade Nzimande, will be addressing the stakeholder and media breakfast to introduce the first South African Mobile Devices Exposition (SAMDEX).

SAMDEX is an exposition and a conference which will gather original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), innovators, researchers and developers so that they expose their mobile devices, mobile apps as well as related products and services to the South African public and to African and international visitors.

SAMDEX will be a platform for leaders, visitors and industry stakeholders to explore, exchange and discuss topics relevant to the local South African economy and its regional impact. To this end, areas of interest include innovation and education, research and development, manufacturing, distribution and usage of mobile devices and mobile apps as well as related products and services.

As such, SAMDEX 2023 will be an opportunity for leaders and decision makers to unearth, map and develop an industry led roadmap for the mobile devices’ industry that is beneficial to the country’s economic and technological future both for a progressive local, national and regional socio-economic impact.

The SAMDEX initiative is also in line with the shared view that opportunities created by the 4IR era should be harnessed to inclusively benefit the people of South Africa and the African region.
