The Partnership for a Digital Africa (P4DA) was established to bring together top talent from government, universities, industry and community organisations to pursue innovation and drive tech-based economic development in Africa. The objective of P4DA is to drive collaboration and collective problem-solving, by creating an open innovation ecosystem rooted in practical projects aimed at solving the problems experienced by our society. By creating this platform that promotes collaboration, we aim to create an ideal environment to focus on developing, demonstrating, deploying, and commercializing innovations that address the world’s most pressing problems. The key driver for the projects pursued is social impact and knowledge (IP) creation. The intellectual genesis of the digital revolution is collaboration - people working together to pioneer technological breakthroughs that have allowed them to nurture their own imagination and ally creatively with others. This is the opportunity that awaits us if we meaningfully engage in this transformation journey.

The Cape Digital Foundation is a not-for-profit agency with an overriding passion to make an impact in seeing South Africans’ lives improved as people are enabled to take up and use technology and digital tools, to make their lives easier and more productive.The Foundation is mandated to initiate and coordinate initiatives that promote the financial inclusion of all people through the uptake of citizen-lead technology. By enabling active citizens who have a voice, future technology and innovations can be shaped around bringing a solution to real-world problems rather than technology prescribing a presumptuous solution from the top down.We believe that valuable innovation will be born of the Internet-enabled informal sector. It gives people agency and purpose, and has the capacity to build our nation and create unity.
