Four of South Africa’s finest young scientists will represent the country at the Initiative for Research and Innovation in STEM (IRIS) Global Symposium in India, where they will showcase their scientific brilliance. 

The learners were top achievers at last October’s Eskom Expo for Young Scientists International Science Fair (ISF), which is a platform that enables young scientists to pursue their passion in science. 

These young scientists selected for the event from 27 to 31 January 2026 will showcase groundbreaking research, from using nature to neutralise acids and plastics, to cleaning contaminated soil and mining wastewater, and even developing a low-cost AI-powered navigation device for the blind and visually impaired. The learners will compete under the guidance of delegation leader Dr Krishnie Naidoo, Eskom Expo Academic Director.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Eskom Development Foundation (Acting), Ms Mologadi Motshele, said: “Eskom is proud to support the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers. Investing in young scientists strengthens South Africa’s future, developing leaders who will drive technological advancement, sustainability, and social impact on both a national and global scale. We wish our learners all the best as they take South Africa’s scientific talent to the world stage.”
