Keynote Speaker

Regarded as one of Africa’s most influential women in engineering, Sabine Dall’Omo has consistently put her best foot forward and broken boundaries in this male-dominated field.

She currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and board member for Siemens in South Africa, following a successful career at the company for over thirty years. She works tirelessly to push the continent forward in terms of science and technology by ensuring that innovative ideas are harnessed into tangible solutions for society. Earlier this year Sabine was appointed as the Deputy Chairperson of the NEPAD Business Foundation and as an honorary member to serve on the Board of Trustees for the Deutsche Welthungerhilfe e. V.; in addition to these roles Sabine has also been appointed onto the Presidential Advisory Council on Investment (PACI). She was elected to the North-West University Faculty of Engineering Dean’s Advisory Board and most recently she was re-elected as Board Member of the German-African Business Association (Afrika-Verein Deutschen Wirtschaft)
