Innovation hub in Cape Town

A multi-use innovation hub, designed to showcase solutions to South African and African problems, was launched in Cape Town at the V&A Waterfront. The innovation hub has a strong technology and entrepreneurial focus, adding to Cape Town’s strategy to be Africa’s digital capital. Its location at the V&A Waterfront’s Workshop17 platform will provide small entities with the best opportunities.

Workshop17 was a seed of an idea six years ago when it was recognised that resources could be used to foster small business through an innovation hub.
