The South African Supplier Diversity Council (SASDC) is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with NEAT, a leading innovator in video collaboration technology, to enhance the delivery of training and engagement within the SASDC Academy and Project EMBRACE.
As part of this collaboration, NEAT has sponsored a training and conference solution that will strengthen our digital learning platforms and create more inclusive and accessible spaces for knowledge exchange. Designed specifically for Zoom and Microsoft Teams environments, NEAT’s technology enables seamless, human-centric virtual interaction that aligns with the SASDC’s vision of scalable, technology-enabled development.
This partnership directly supports the objectives of the SASDC Academy, which serves as the skills development and enterprise capability-building hub for Black-owned suppliers within our network. It also enhances the implementation of Project EMBRACE—a flagship supplier diversity programme aimed at economically mainstreaming Black women and youth through access to green economy value chains.
Together, SASDC and NEAT are building a stronger ecosystem of support—one that fosters equitable participation, expands supplier access, and accelerates sustainable, inclusive growth.
We thank NEAT for its investment in transformation and shared commitment to amplifying impact through collaboration.
