Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cybersecurity are two pivotal forces shaping the global economy. As digital transformation accelerates in emerging economies like South Africa (SA), these technologies present opportunities and challenges for investment and economic growth. Understanding their implications is critical for policymakers, investors, and industry leaders to harness their full potential while mitigating associated risks. On one hand, AI has the potential to revolutionise industries, enhance efficiency, and drive investment. On the other, cybersecurity risks threaten the stability of digital infrastructure, and the trust required to attract investors. The Innovation Hub supports entrepreneurs in harnessing innovation to address these challenges through its various programmes. From concept to commercialisation, the programme empowers startups to create sustainable, tech-driven solutions to bolster South Africa’s digital economy while mitigating cybersecurity risks.
