Our Partners!

The Digitech program’s success is built on a foundation of strategic partnerships with some of the world’s most renowned technology companies and organizations. Collaborating with industry giants like Microsoft, Huawei, Cisco, IBM, Google, and Altron, as well as the Southern African Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (SAVCA), the program ensures that South African SMMEs are positioned for sustainable growth and innovation. 

 

These partnerships bring not only cutting-edge technological tools but also invaluable expertise and resources to the table, empowering local entrepreneurs to tap into advanced solutions that might otherwise be out of reach. Through these collaborations, SMMEs involved in Digitech gain access to global networks and international markets, opening doors to new business opportunities and expanding their influence beyond South Africa’s borders. 

 

In addition to resources, these partnerships are instrumental in facilitating knowledge transfer, which is crucial for keeping SMMEs at the forefront of technological innovation. Through mentorship programs, joint ventures, and hands-on training, these collaborations ensure that participants are equipped with the latest skills and insights needed to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. 

 

These collaborations are key to fostering a culture of innovation within the Digitech ecosystem, encouraging entrepreneurs to experiment with emerging technologies and adapt them to solve local challenges. By working closely with global tech leaders and venture capital associations, SMMEs are better positioned to attract investment, scale their businesses, and contribute to South Africa’s digital economy. 

 

Ultimately, the success of the Digitech program is intertwined with these strategic partnerships, which help drive technological progress, spur job creation, and pave the way for South African SMMEs to become leaders in the global tech space
