The TIC Foundation proudly participated in the SA Future Trust Summit 2025, a premier national platform dedicated to innovation, entrepreneurship, and social impact. The summit took place at the Sandton Convention Centre, bringing together policymakers, entrepreneurs, financiers, and changemakers with a shared vision of building a sustainable and inclusive South Africa.
Our presence aligned with TIC Foundation’s mission to bridge innovation, cultural preservation, and community empowerment — showcasing our ongoing work in digitizing African heritage through technology, creativity, and collaboration.
TIC Foundation, in partnership with the National Heritage Council (NHC), hosted an interactive exhibition stand under the theme:
“Playing with Heritage: South Africa Reimagined.”
Our exhibition featured a banner and flyers that adhered to the NHC’s Corporate Identity (CI) guidelines, maintaining the Heritage logo on the bottom right over a clean white background.
Visitors were invited to:
– Play a Heritage IQ Mini-Quiz — testing their knowledge of South African culture and history.
– Collaborate with TIC Foundation by scanning a QR code to register as volunteers, partners, or supporters.
The exhibition captured the attention of policymakers, innovators, and entrepreneurs, all of whom showed strong interest in our vision of turning heritage into an interactive, digital experience.
We met The Unorthodox Chef, a culinary entrepreneur who produces traditional African ready-to-eat meals distributed through engine garages. We discussed potential collaborations, including Wi-Fi-enabled gaming access points and incorporating traditional food stories into our digital games.
– Strengthened partnerships with legal, financial, and educational institutions.
– Increased visibility and engagement through our interactive exhibition.
– Expanded discussions for rural digitization and heritage preservation.
– New opportunities for community participation and digital inclusion.
The SA Future Trust Summit 2025 was a successful milestone for TIC Foundation. We showcased our innovation in cultural digitization, strengthened partnerships, and inspired new collaborations.
The summit reaffirmed our commitment to build bridges between heritage, innovation, and community empowerment — ensuring that African heritage remains alive, accessible, and celebrated through technology.
