How SA became a space tech leader. Also: OUTsurance’s big reboot
Description
In this episode, Bruce Whitfield looks at the latest interest rate decisions - and why the US may be courting disaster by repeating a mistake from almost a century ago. He speaks to OUTsurance Group CEO Marthinus Visser about how the insurer made a successful strategic pivot years ago, after a future of self-driving cars caused internal panic. How did Stellenbosch become one of the world’s leaders in space technology? Mike-Alec Kearney is the founder of Cube Space, which has built thousands of satellite components that are now orbiting earth. He explains how local maths and engineering graduates are helping SA win in the global space race. Anchor CEO Peter Armitage gives his insights into the markets, while certified financial planner Warren Ingram shares practical tips on building wealth. The podcast is sponsored by Capitec.
