What a positive way to start the week. South Africa’s Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has awarded the first two incubators in its incubation support programme to The Micro Enterprise Development Organisation (MEDO). MEDO supports entrepreneurial activity by boosting trade between large organisations and SMEs or startups, and through its UK Trade & Investment programme.
The first two incubators will focus on the ICT and the Mining and Heavy Industries sectors, providing training and support to businesses that can service and supply these industries. South Africa’s mining industry is under increasing pressure, and the focus on mining innovation is a positive signal.
