Seeking solutions in the age of disruption

Every year, the best brains gather somewhere in South Africa to thrash out challenges facing the telecommunications industry. This is Satnac.

Telecommunications has a transformative role to play in developing nations, but how do you ensure there’s a pipeline of talented students with good ideas who find their way into the industry?

Once a year, for the last 21 years, scientists, engineers, industry players, government representatives and the media gather somewhere in Southern Africa to thrash out the latest issues facing the telecommunications business. They sometimes meet in quite exotic locations – one year it was in Mauritius, and last year they went on a cruise. The point, though, is to get all these people rubbing shoulders in the same room to encourage the exchange of ideas, and expose the students to a bit of what the real world is going to be expecting of them when they enter the job market.
