** The Final Stage – The Start of a Brand! **

A massive congratulations to Team Surf4Life for completing the 2025 Absa Cape Epic! While it was unfortunate that Neil had to withdraw so close to the finish, he quickly became a super supporter, cheering Carlo across the finish line. What a moment of resilience and team spirit!

This year, Team Surf4Life proudly represented the rebrand of IANet to Nexco, cycling through challenging terrain and weather in both Nexco colors and those of our individual companies.

A heartfelt thank you to our industry partners who made this journey possible:

Frogfoot
MiRO Distribution
FTTX and Energy Warehouse
Tect Electronics Pty Ltd

Here’s to new beginnings and bold adventures.

Flashback to the Absa Cape Epic 2025

What a week it was for Team Surf4Life! From blistering heat and temperature's up to 38 degrees to unexpected rain, the weather threw everything at them — along with the legendary ups and downs of the Cape Wineland's terrain. But that’s what the Epic is all about, right?

Representing the Nexco Group, and riding as team Surf4Life, the team rotated their kits in style—showcasing the bold Nexco Group colors and shining in I3S, TelcoExchange, and SmartMatter kits. It wasn’t just a race; it was a celebration of the innovation and collaboration that powers our group!

A massive shoutout to our industry partners and sponsors who had our backs all the way:

Cosmopolitan Projects Tshwane

Your support fuelled every pedal stroke. Here's to more adventures, partnerships, and conquering challenges together!

We’re excited to announce that the IANet Group is rebranding as NEXCO, kicking off a new era of growth and innovation!

With our recent acquisition of SmartMatter Pty, our group has expanded and now includes I3S, Surf4Life, TelcoExchange, SmartMatter, and Interstellio.

Together, we’re bringing cutting-edge technology to life in smart residential, commercial, and public spaces. This rebranding reflects our mission to create connected, sustainable, and innovative solutions in smart spaces.

We caught up with Carlo Engelbrecht and Neil Bisset at the ABSA Cape Epic Prologue, riding as Team Surf4Life and living out their motto: "We embrace hard things."

Tackling the world's premier mountain biking stage race is no easy task, but Carlo and Niel approach it with the same grit and determination they bring to their business. Just as they overcome challenges to create value for their clients, they conquered the Cape Epic’s challenging terrain and relentless climbs.

Their journey reflects a shared spirit of resilience—whether on the trails or in the boardroom, they prove that perseverance leads to excellence.

Here's to Team Surf4Life for pushing limits, breaking barriers, and inspiring us all along the way!
