SA Insights: Turning Purpose into Real-World Impact

Join MTPConnect SA Director Dana Bell for a fireside chat and networking evening with special guests Dr Samantha Pillay and Harry Carpenter, two purpose-driven leaders redefining what it means to innovate in health.

What does it take to turn purpose into real-world impact, across healthcare, technology, and society?

As founders of Continence Matters and Corcillum, Samantha and Harry are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence in very different ways — from patient empowerment and education to unlocking new frontiers in health technology and sustainability.

Both are award-winning changemakers, deeply committed to improving lives through their work. Their journeys span clinical practice, entrepreneurship, storytelling, and global impact — united by a shared belief in using innovation as a force for good.

In this session, we’ll explore:

• How to align purpose with scalable, meaningful impact
• The role of AI in shaping the future of healthcare and human outcomes
• Storytelling as a tool for influence, empowerment, and change
• Building ventures that are not only successful, but sustainable and values-led

This is a conversation for anyone interested in the intersection of health, technology, and purpose — and the leaders bold enough to shape what comes next.

Panellists: 

• Dr Samantha Pillay | Founder Continence Matters
• Harry Carpenter | Founder Corcillum
