Projectized Management at SITA GovTech 2026 | Building Towards Digital Sovereignty 🇿🇦💻
“Building Towards Digital Sovereignty: South Africa as Architect of its Digital Destiny for Citizens.”
The event brought together government, industry leaders, technology innovators and key stakeholders to engage in important conversations around digital sovereignty, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud and connectivity, innovation, and citizen-centric digital services.
A key highlight for Projectized Management was the participation of our Managing Director, Ms Nokuthula “Nokky” Ndlovu, who served as the Master of Ceremonies (MC) for the Day 2 Plenary & Innovation Pitch programme. She also facilitated the GovTech Innovation Pitch, providing a platform for SMME participants and judges to showcase innovative solutions and ideas aimed at advancing digital transformation.
The Plenary programme featured thought-provoking discussions, including the panel:
🔹 “Enabling Small Technology Firms Through Policy, Funding and Market Access”, featuring Mr Loyiso Tyira (TIA), Dr Bangani Mpangalasane (Innovation Hub), and Mr Willie Mathebula (National Treasury).
The wider programme also explored critical strategic areas such as:
🔹 AI as a Public Good for Service Delivery
🔹 Balancing Global Connectivity Benefits with Digital, Economic and National Sovereignty
🔹 Connectivity for Critical Public Services
🔹 Finding the Right Investment Priorities for AI, Automation or Digital Transformation
