The annual SOE Conference endeavours to revitalise on the societal compact around SOEs and their future in South Africa. It creates a multistakeholder platform where SOEs, policymakers, civil society, academia, youth and business can convene to deliberate on SOE reform and rejuvenation. Building on previous conferences held since 2021, the 2023 SOE Conference aims to systematically unpack possible opportunities and risks for South African SOEs.
