The Western Cape Department of Economic Development and Tourism (DEDAT) has launched two initiatives to develop SafetyTech and ScreenTech as part of its Dash-Tech Project. The overarching aim of the Project is to harness the strengths and interconnectedness of the local tech ecosystem to solve some of the province’s most pressing problems and open up opportunities for the Western Cape digital economy.
SafetyTech incorporates all technology-focused systems and processes, hardware, software and resources that contribute to the creation of an environment where adverse incidents are minimised, and citizens are able to lead lives free from fear of personal harm or asset loss.
