About "S3N 2022"

The emergence of connected cities and data-driven nations is making planning and decision-making easier at the global level. Different studies have ranked Africa low in adopting technology to build a safe, secure, and sustainable economy. At the heart of the technology driving innovation is  data and citizens engagement.   In transforming our nation to meet future demand, we must use technology to create a more sustainable and liveable present and secure future for our citizens. We must change our approach and challenge the status quo. Our quest for innovation leveraging research and development must increase. We must develop effective strategies to achieve a Smart, Secure, and Sustainable Nation.

The government, the citizens, and the business environment must invest in relevant technologies to compete in the global space. This approach requires the right team with new mindsets and skills. The 2022 international conference on “ Smart, Secure, and Sustainable Nation (S3N’22) will bring together policymakers within the government, business leaders, members of academia, professionals, and practitioners to deliberate on broad social, economic, and technology trends relevant to the development and sustainability of our nation.
