On 24 and 25 October 2024, Varsity Vibe exhibited at the South African Future Trust (Saft) Summit, a dynamic gathering that brought together some of South Africa’s brightest entrepreneurial minds.

From engaging panels filled with diverse voices to invaluable networking opportunities, the Saft Summit emphasised inclusivity and growth. It was a privilege for us to be surrounded by such innovative thinkers, and we left feeling inspired and energised. The discussions not only provided emerging entrepreneurs with essential tools to elevate their ventures but also fostered a collaborative spirit that is crucial for the growth of South Africa’s entrepreneurial landscape.

A standout moment of the summit was the exhilarating business pitch opportunity on day two, where companies had the chance to pitch their business ideas for a remarkable R20m investment. This incredible opportunity underscored the summit's commitment to empowering startups and driving economic change.

Varsity Vibe showcased our commitment to supporting the South African youth at the Startup Club ZA Startup Alley. This inspiring hub allowed us to connect with fellow innovators, share our vision and demonstrate how we can empower students and serve as a gateway to the youth for our partner brands.

As we reflect on this powerful experience, we are excited to continue building relationships and to foster an environment where ideas can flourish. Together, we can shape a sustainable future for South Africa through entrepreneurship.
