Enterprise development organisation the Innovator Trust has partnered with Kulea Consulting to further develop the South African ICT SME sector.
In a statement, the Innovator Trust says it partnered with Kulea Consulting because of the value in creating an environment that allows for growth and the possibility for SME partnerships.
Kulea Consulting is a specialist business consultancy in the Western Cape focusing on nurturing entrepreneurship and growing sustainable businesses.
Tashline Jooste, CEO of the Innovator Trust, says: "We believe in providing support that creates opportunities for our beneficiaries to grow. We cannot stress the value we place on partnerships as they play a fundamental role in fostering a culture of collaboration and enabling the sharing of experience and resources."
Jooste adds: "Partnerships is where it begins. If we want to see any real change, be it the development of black SMEs in ICT, or growth of the sector as a whole, we have to focus on partnerships that bring value and knowledge in order to ensure a real and sustainable impact."
According to the Innovator Trust, Kulea joins existing partners such as the Gordon Institute of Business Science, which recruits female-owned ICT SMEs to participate in its Programme for Management Development.
"Each partner brings a uniqueness and versatility to the Innovator Trust Enterprise Development Programme, which has been advantageously designed to assist our ICT SME beneficiaries in gaining a competitive edge, as well create tangible and significant growth opportunities for them," says Jooste.
