Event report

Back To | LeBridge #1

On Tuesday 25th April, we hosted the first edition of LeBridge at Mazars, South Africa. 

This first edition was a success thanks to our speakers and panellists: Zachariah George, Kieno Kammies, Carol-Anne Grimshaw, Talitha Tabane, Amandine Robin, João Barreto, and Nomfundo Xaba. Thanks for sharing your expertise and valuable insights with us!

We are grateful for their contribution and for the fruitful discussion. We leant about the potential of innovative start-ups on the African continent and the means available for them to grow. And that cooperation between corporate and start-ups is essential to accelerate the development of African economies. For more information, you will attached the presentation from Zachariah George, our keynote speaker.

A big thank you to our partner French Tech South Africa for this first collaboration. We are super excited to be working together on a common goal to develop the start-ups ecosystem and help meaningful projects to grow. To join the French Tech Revolution, you will find the relevant information on the document attached.

Finally, we thank Mazars for hosting us and Sandica Balrishie for introducing Mazars’ new innovation building in Johannesburg: the Mazars Data School (video here). As well as the Village Foundation for its support.

Stay tunned for the next edition of LeBridge!
