The upcoming SABOA Annual Conference and Exhibition in August 2026 is set to highlight international expertise, with a special emphasis on Czech technological solutions. This year, the organizers are placing a strategic focus on the Czech Republic’s automotive and telematics excellence, introducing South African bus operators to innovative partners capable of modernizing local transport infrastructure.

A key highlight of the event will be the presence of Mikroelektronika, a leading Czech provider of automated fare collection systems. Based in Vysoké Mýto, they are renowned for their robust ticketing solutions and validation hardware used globally. Their participation offers a direct opportunity for South African firms to discuss tailored integration of smart payment systems and digital fleet management.
