A partnership with the Gauteng Provincial Department of Roads and Transport and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research is driving the Smarter Mobility Africa Summit’s (SMA) mission of unlocking full economic, social, and environmental opportunities in Africa.
This October, African Mobility Month and South African October Transport Month will be marked by a full-scale in-person event covering every aspect of the mobility industry, from public transport to electric vehicles & battery tech, and from Data, Mapping, and GIS to Urban Logistics
The SMA summit, which will take place at the CSIR International Convention Centre in Pretoria from 5 – 7 October, also features a collaboration between Smarter Mobility Africa and Arigo Investments to showcase the latest start-ups in the mobility industry. Over 50 start-ups will have a chance to exhibit at the Arigo Startup Village free of charge.
By connecting start-ups with a global and local audience of businesses, investors, governments, and media, the SMA summit is Africa’s platform for start-ups in mobility. Those who wish to grow their business and create jobs will find this opportunity to be incredibly beneficial. Investors seeking the next big deal, businesses on the lookout for innovative teams or solutions to partner with or acquire, the media trying to communicate the future with their audience, and Government looking for the most effective on-the-ground solutions to mobility problems will be in attendance. Therefore, the SMA Summit 2022 is a must-attend if you’re a mobility start-up.
