Keynote Speaker
Igniting Innovation and Technology in Africa
Hello and welcome! I’m Shayne Mann, a passionate advocate for transformative technology and co-founder of Singularity University South Africa. With a rich journey spanning nine years in the dynamic world of the S-Universe, I’ve delved deep into the realms of exponential technology, unearthing insights and innovations that are reshaping our world.
“To even begin to understand the power of Singularity University and its critical relevance to being competitive in the coming decade you have to spend time with real life examples of its work and the tech disruption going on in the world.
It was great to see Shayne bringing that to life in the time we had together as an asset management leadership group. It was amazing and enlightening.
Thank you Shayne!”
Together, let’s #futureproofafrica.
