TECH AFRICA
A masterclass ICT event designed by women for smme and women in ICT
The problem of ICT entrepreneurship in our country
•Predominantly Male
•Predominantly White
•Predominantly under 35 years which means that people with less corporate experience are more engaged than those with more corporate experience
•The majority with 1/2 founding members
•Less than 10% of ICT startups are funded by investors
•Almost half of SA ICT start-ups start with less than R50 000 investment
The solution
We aim to uplift skills on the African continent through this masterclass event by bringing more women to ICT
We need to bring more ict startups into being visible across the continent to attract business
We need to get them funded and partnered in order for them to thrive and survive
we need to bring more skills into ICT by training more local skills rather than importing skills that the continent does not have
- Upskilling, Reskilling, and Job Matching
- Inclusive Supply Chains
We have numerous technologies to offer Africa -most of which do not exist on the continent. our solution to this problem is not technology based though our solutions are all unique and can solve many african challenges as cost disruptors. Our masterclass initiative is a process to solve the current challenges of ICT entrepreneurship and to that of lesser women being engaged in ICT
This is a new process -new initiative
We are an ICT company and small enterprise. Even if we have the best solutions in the world, the challenge is funding and outreach and visibility.
We need to create a forum that showcases africas ICT talents that we could port to the rest of the world
launch in south africa and then africa and once is gains momentum, to the rest of the world
we aim to include as many smme into this programme and with a specific bias on women in technology.
this will have a ripple effect, ICT companies will be able to survive, attract investment and get their products out there-globally.
More women will be lead to ICT and we will constantly be driving new technology and skills upliftment on the continent
smme -we will be creating a forum for smme community to subscribe to across africa
one of our smme solutions called assistsuites is being launched now. this is an smme product
our solution to this problem is not merely a product, it is an entire inclusion of the ICT community in our country to assist smaller ICT companies and especially women in tech smme
