Build 4 Demo Day
Join the Savant team for the Build Programme’s Cohort 4 Demo Day!
After 3 months of intensive masterclasses, expert support and hands-on preparation, our founders will be ready to take the stage (after a special keynote speaker).
Through Savant’s accelerator programme, backed by Western Cape Government and Capital Stack Africa (Spark & GIZ), they’ll have sharpened their business models, strengthened their data rooms and refined their stories as they prepare to raise and scale. And on this evening, they’ll be ready to show you what they’re building.
Many of the ventures in this year’s cohort have already secured funding and commercial traction, with several actively preparing to raise their next round.
This is an exclusive event for investors and change-makers shaping the future of African innovation. Come meet the founders, hear their pitches and get an early look at the technologies and businesses being built to tackle some of the continent’s biggest opportunities and challenges.
🎤 Keynote address: Western Cape Premier, Alan Winde
📍Location: Workshop 17, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
