Feedback from our Stakeholders

Lucky Litelu

CEO of ICRD Group Holdings

“South Africa’s historical disparity has rendered it difficult for entrepreneurs from previously disadvantaged communities to participate effectively in the mainstream economy due to lack of technical know-how, development resources, adequate financing and access to sustainable markets.This is the gap which 4IR Aquatech Accelerator seeks to bridge.

Mpho Mookapele

CEO of EWSETA

South Africa is rich with young minds that can drive innovative solutions for the challenges we face. Our role as EWSETA is to provide a platform for these young minds and ignite the passion of our innovators so that they become part of the much-needed solutions that will change the narrative of poverty and undignified state of living for many of our people.
