Representing TechWays, Phila Simelane joined hundreds of innovators, entrepreneurs, and policymakers at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) for another day filled with insights, learning, and connection.

The day kicked off with dynamic keynote sessions that explored future-ready regulation, as industry regulators and policymakers outlined strategies for driving innovation while ensuring inclusivity and responsible growth.
