10 years of Science Forum South Africa: Advancing technology and innovation

Minister of science, Dr Nzimande calls for the harnessing of science to serve the most vulnerable and marginalised

Science, technology and innovation (STI) hold immense promise for humanity to build a just and humane world.

But this can only be achieved if we deliberately harness STI to serve the most vulnerable and marginalised sections of society, said Professor. Blade Nzimande, minister of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI).

Dr Nzimande was speaking during the official opening of the annual Science Forum South Africa (SFSA) 2025 underway at the CSIR Convention Centre in Pretoria.

Considered one of the premier events on the science calendar, the SFSA was held under the theme: ‘Placing Science, Technology and Innovation at the centre of Government, Education, Industry and Society’.
