OpenText is excited to announce the OpenText Summit Africa 2025, taking place on Thursday, 4 September 2025, at The Galleria in Sandton. This full-day event, themed “Information Reimagined: Elevate Human Potential”, invites business and government leaders from across Africa to explore how cutting-edge technologies are unlocking new opportunities and driving innovation across the continent.
As digital transformation gains momentum across Africa, OpenText Summit Africa 2025 will offer a powerful platform for industry leaders to connect, collaborate and learn from local and global success stories. With a sharp focus on turning data into action, the event will showcase how information – when harnessed through AI, cloud and security – can evolve with an organisation and empower it to lead in a rapidly changing world.
A keynote to inspire: Major Mandisa Mfeka
Headlining the event is Major Mandisa Mfeka, South Africa’s first Black female combat pilot. With more than 14 years of aviation experience, Major Mfeka is known not only for her groundbreaking role in the South African Air Force, but also as a passionate advocate for youth empowerment and gender equality in STEAM fields.
