“Samsung understands that meeting the development needs of the country requires a number of players working together as well as requires tailored solutions to optimise this team work. To this end, we are excited to be able to create this platform for discussion as well as to demonstrate how our comprehensive government based offering incorporates the latest technology innovation that is not only as energy efficiently as possible but also takes cognisance of the unique challenges of the public sector,” says Ntutule Tshenye, B2G and Corporate Citizenship lead at Samsung Electronics Africa.
Covering several areas such as Health, Education, Job Creation, Safety and Security and Communications, Samsung aims to engage with government stakeholders as well as develop a platform for these stakeholders to come together to understand the needs of the country from a broad perspective, what is expected of them and which solutions and partners can help them achieve this. For Samsung, this is a keen opportunity to not only demonstrate their solutions but to partner government in the provision of a complete set of solutions that cover critical touch points to assist it in meeting these objectives.
