The G-STIC Conference is one of the world’s leading platforms focused on technological innovation for sustainable development. It brings together entrepreneurs, innovators, industry leaders, researchers, policymakers, investors, and social and economic actors to explore market-ready technological innovations with the potential to substantially impact the realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The 8th edition of the G-STIC Conference, known as G-STIC Pretoria, will take place from 8 to 10 October 2025 at the CSIR International Convention Centre in Pretoria, South Africa. This landmark edition is particularly significant as it coincides with the 80th anniversary of the CSIR, underscoring the organisation’s enduring commitment to scientific and technological excellence in support of sustainable development. It also marks the first time G-STIC will be held on the African continent.
G-STIC Pretoria will serve as a premier global forum for advancing integrated technological solutions to accelerate the achievement of the SDGs. Building on the foundation of previous editions, it will also offer a distinctive focus on Africa’s sustainability challenges and opportunities, bringing critical regional perspectives to the global dialogue.
