Partner Ecosystem
SAtion’s support network of industry leaders, active members, professional partners, investors, and innovators are united to use their resources, valuable insight, financial investments, and skills to work together to bring to light the vision of this national initiative and create a digital nation. Together they nurture and share rich resources of knowledge, finance, and experience to turn a struggling economy into a thriving one. This macroeconomic approach will ensure sustainability, thereby safeguarding livelihoods, and ultimately, improving the social wellbeing of all South Africans.
Together, this generative network will transform the historical transactional landscape of the economy of South Africa into an effective, digitalised, inclusive solution through all tiers of business. Furthermore, these partnerships work together in the Fourth Industrial Revolution to not only be globally competitive but to improve the lives of all South Africans.
As the initiative grows within South Africa, its workstreams and partnerships continue to see top industry leaders, business management, industry leaders, and valuable, well-known role-players within the local economy join and unite in working with SAtion to achieve its vision.
Within each of SAtion’s workstreams, partners actively work together to play a combined pivotal role in ensuring that the workstream’s objectives and outcomes are reached.
