SA’s team of competitors comprised 240 young professionals and students aged between 16 and 35 who are skilled in robotic process automation, mobile app development, data science and digital factory skills amongst others.
Joanne Brink, project manager at Brics Future Skills Challenge, says:

The SA team walked away with almost the same number of medals as India, which has a population of 1.4 billion. SA won 15 medals across the 12 challenge areas in which we competed, 10 medals of which were top three placements. We are excited for South Africa to host the Brics Skills Challenge in 2023 and we got valuable learnings from participating.”
