There is a need to use modern  technology
                                                         to combine people, processes, operations or

                                                         machinery to form a connected way of working

                                                         or smart manufacturing. We also learned about
                                                         the importance of the inclusiveness of different
                                                         cultures and  genders to create sustainable

                                                         development  plans  to  address  fragile  trade

                                                         agreements and broken supply chains. Peer-

                                                         environment  for  multiple  stakeholders  to

                                                         work in unison rather than in traditional silos.

                                                         Attendees    were     also   given    time    to
                                                         pitch   their   work     between      sessions.

                                                         simulation.  The  outcome of  the  conference
                                                         was  a  request  for  Tshwane  University  of
