NEW TECH CENTRE
Technology innovation hub for Cape Town
CAPE Town will be the seat of Africa’s first 4th Industrial Revolution Innovation centre, thanks to the vision of Sagarmatha Technologies. The centre is one of four that will be established across the continent.
The centre is part of Sagarmatha Technologies’ investment in skills and development in the technology space for Africans by Africans.
The centre aims to attract young people who will be exposed to various innovations, including virtual reality, robotics, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, drone technology, information economics and cybersecurity.
The company’s chief innovation officer, Wesley Diphoko, said Sagarmatha Technologies was a visionary multisided platform company with the goal of being part of Africa’s success story. “If Africa succeeds, we all succeed. As the Fourth Industrial Revolution takes hold on the continent, we need to ensure that we have the skills across the board to keep up.
“This centre is one way that we can ensure young people can be armed with the right skills at the right time,” he said.
Diphoko said several multinational technology firms had indicated their interest in partnering with the centre.
Sagarmatha Technologies business solutions include B2B content distribution, B2C applications, enterprise technology solutions such as data storage, cloud computing and digital automation, and a proprietary digital video and entertainment platform. – Staff Reporter
