Palesa Antony, mLab provincial coordinator, says, “No one is better placed to overcome the region’s unique problems and seize its resources than its local youth.” “We not only have a unique understanding of the climate, but they also have the desire and inspiration to see their province flourish as a result of technological advancements.”

This project will be used by mLab, DSI, and CSIR to engage the community, create relationships, and promote networking in the Limpopo Province, eventually unlocking the potential of mobile AgriTech and TravelTech.
