Taking place under the theme "Igniting conversations about science for innovation with impact", this collaboration will create a unique platform for debate on the role of science, technology and innovation in society. At the same time, local technologies generated from publicly financed research and development will be showcased with the aim of securing partners to convert these technologies into products and services that impact on the lives of ordinary people.

The event programme will kick off on 4 December by a high-level plenary marking the opening of the 5th Science Forum South Africa and 3rd Innovation Bridge. The Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology, Dr Blade Nzimande, will host the plenary session under the topic "The South Africa, Africa and world we want to leave our children: A technologically wise next generation". The plenary will be followed by three rounds of parallel sessions, with a Science Forum Sunset Discussion rounding off the day.

On 5 December, the Innovation Bridge will host speed networking sessions focused on specific technology sectors and geared at concluding deals for technology advancement.

And on 6 December, the collaboration of Science Forum South Africa and Innovation
Bridge will culminate in the closing plenary, where a high-level panel will discuss the role of innovation in society from the perspective of driving local technological advancements while ensuring increased foreign direct investment.
