From insight to innovation.
Join our panellists and keynote speakers as we unpack how retail spaces can provide a platform for education to thrive.
From providing free WiFi for course completion and CV generation to matric workshops in vacant stores, retail has the potential to connect, innovate and create spaces for community members to improve their daily lives.
In it’s fourth year, TRIS continues its mission to elevate township and rural retail while connecting investors, entrepreneurs and gamechangers.
