Cape Town – Market-mad Capetonians can expect a bumper couple of days at the end of this month when the 8th SA Innovation Summit holds the first Market on the Edge, billed a “market with a difference: creativity in action”.
The established markets in the city, including the Neighbourhood Goods Market at the Old Biscuit Mill and the Oranjezicht City Farm organic market, will have some interesting competition.
The first Market on the Edge, at Cape Town Stadium on August 28 and 29, promises “scrumptious” food and drinks as well as more than 80 innovative products including Lego robotics, electric cars, gadgets and more.
The organisers say that visitors will be able to experience innovation intelligence, the theme of this year’s summit, in “a truly sensory way – by seeing, touching, smelling, tasting and feeling innovation”.
Live entertainment will take on a new meaning at the Inventor’s Garage and Pitching Den, where inventors and innovators will showcase their prototypes and technologies and pitch ideas to a panel of judges.
