INNOVEX2026

26-27 November 2026 / Rustenburg, North West

INNOVEX Summit

Two days for entrepreneurs, SMEs, industry partners and public-sector teams to meet around practical ideas, market access and future industries.

Powered by

Innovation. Exchange. Opportunity.

INNOVEX is built for the conversations that usually happen in corridors after a session: who needs support, who has access, and what can move next.

A practical note from the organisers: bring the version of your idea that is real right now. The room is designed for useful next steps, not perfect pitches only.
