Stratcom Marks One-Year Milestone with Launch of AI and Digital Transformation Summit 2025

Mbabane, Eswatini – 14 April 2025 — Stratcom Media celebrated its one-year anniversary with a powerful declaration of intent for the future: the official launch of the AI and Digital Transformation Summit 2025, a continental platform that will place Eswatini at the heart of Africa’s digital innovation wave.

Founded in March 2024, Stratcom has grown from a family-driven vision into a leading digital transformation partner for SMEs, institutions, and creators in Eswatini and beyond. The agency now offers a full suite of services — from digital marketing and brand strategy to AI solutions and capacity building — through its four specialized divisions: Stratcom Media, Stratcom Academy, Agribusiness Media, and Creators Link.

“Our growth is a story of purpose, passion, and problem-solving,” said Ntokozo Mngadi, Stratcom’s Chief Operating Officer, during the launch event held at the Happy Valley Hotel. “As we reflect on our first year, we’re not just celebrating what we’ve done — we’re launching the future we’re committed to creating.”

The headline announcement of the event was the AI and Digital Transformation Summit, scheduled for 15–17 July 2025 at the Mavuso Trade and Exhibition Centre in Manzini. Themed “AI & Digital Transformation: For Eswatini’s Economic Prosperity”, the summit aims to demystify artificial intelligence, accelerate SME readiness, and drive inclusive digital growth across Africa.

Stratcom CEO Sibusiso Mngadi emphasized the transformative ambition behind the initiative:

“This summit is our call to action. The tools of the future are already here — and Eswatini must lead in how they’re applied to real-world challenges, from youth unemployment to business scalability.”

Key features of the summit will include:

  • Workshops, panels, and live demos featuring thought leaders from Eswatini, South Africa, and Kenya

  • Startup exhibitions and innovation pitch sessions with post-event support from the Royal Science and Technology Park (RSTP)

  • 200 Free Passes for youth aged 35 and below, available on a first-come, first-served basis until 30 April 2025

  • Partnerships with Ministry of ICT, RSTP, EIPA, SEDCO, ESCCOM, UNESWA, and more


The summit is designed to empower small businesses and young innovators with practical digital tools, showcase real-world AI applications, and build cross-sector collaboration for Eswatini’s digital economy.

As Stratcom moves into its second year, the message is clear:
 This is more than a marketing agency — it’s a catalyst for Africa’s digital transformation.
