And thatโs IF 2026, the 10th Anniversary of the organisationโs Flagship Event, done and dusted with a successful day of insight, innovation, and meaningful connection.
From opening remarks by Innovate Durbanโs CEO, Aurelia Albert, Chairperson Dr Anitha Ramsuran, and a message of support from Councillior Busi Ndlovu of eThekwini Municipality, the day began with energy and purpose.
We were privileged to hear from Dr Stavros Nicolaou, our Keynote Speaker, on 'Sustainable Innovation', followed by an engaging panel on Agritech moderated by Mlibo Bantwini, and including panelists James Lonsdale, Zamokuhle Thwala, Sibusiso Manana, and investor conversations with Clive Butkow and Dr Audrey Verhaeghe.
The afternoon continued with valuable insights from Matt Putman, CEO - iKhokha, a 'Governance vs Acceleration' panel hosted by Old Mutual and moderated by Tasveer Singh, and an insightful talk by Bram Over on 'Closing the Gap'. We also appreciated closing partner remarks from Geoffroy Berson, Attache for Innovation at the French Embassy.
A special thank you to our outstanding hosts Wendy Mahoney and Mpume Zwane Langa for leading the programme so seamlessly.
Thank you to every speaker, exhibitor, attendee and our event partners; eThekwini Municipality, FP&M Seta, Technology Innovation Agency, Alliance Francaise de Durban, French Embassy of South Africa, Malawi and France and Old Mutual for making IF 2026 a success. The future is being shaped through collaboration.
