ANOTHER UNFORGETTABLE SAVCA VC CONFERENCE! The 2024 edition of the SAVCA Venture Capital (VC) Conference took place on Thursday, 17 Oct at the stunning Hazendal Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, bringing together the industry’s best thought leaders in the spirit of this year’s theme, “Synergy with Collaboration” in the Southern Africa VC sector. The conference featured several stimulating discussions that focused on the evolving funding landscape and highlighted the industry’s inherent collaborative potential. Each conference segment uniquely aligned to the theme and affirmed the imperative need for all industry stakeholders to come together and innovate to rise above challenges and seize countless opportunities. “VC is not about narrow interests in terms of financial returns – we need to focus on the impact that these investments can have on society and the environment, to change our world for the better. Now let’s go network and make some deals happen!” We thank our sponsors, members, partners, speakers, and conference delegates for making this another unforgettable VC Conference!
