You are invited to join us in this hands-on workshop on Mastering the Y.E.S initiative.
SAMED is in the business of changing lives and empowering medtech companies. To be able to elevate and propel the industry to greater heights, it is imperative to have the right formula for transformation to take place.
Since the inception of the SAMED x YES partnership, 3124 jobs have been created since February 2023. The power of shared vision has injected R176,193,600.00 into local economies through YES youth salaries. The SAMED x YES Alumni portal has been a critical platform that has decreased recruitment fees and fast-tracked the hiring process. 42 Medtech companies have said YES and reaped the benefits of this initiative.
Did you know that out of 35 medtech companies, 24 companies have achieved a level up in their B-BBEE scorecard?
