Dear Visitor

The SAVANT team was part of a very successful national pavilion at the Cebit Tradeshow in Germany that was hosted from 3 to 8 March. The dti hosted a national pavilion and 11 South African companies were sharing the space, including the Johannesburg Centre for Software Engineering and the South African Electrotechnical Export Council.

The South African companies that participated were Adroit Technologies, Candor Technologies, Crunch Yard, Hefcom South Africa, Psybergate, SensePost, Thusa Business Support, Trispen Technologies and MyVoip Communications. All the companies would agree that it was worth every minute and the experience was both fascinating and thought-provoking.

At the opening event, the Californian Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger set the tone by encouraging the ICT industry to grasp the opportunities available and pursue them with commitment and optimism. 

If you would like to be part of this opportunity next year, please send an email to nnortje@thedti.gov.za
