Claire Jowell and Skye Moody (Viridian), as well as Milisa Mabinza and Mvelo Ngoma (UK South Africa Tech Hub), attended the EmpowerGreen Limpopo programme showcase event in Tzaneen, hosted by Ezamazwe Education Center for Innovation.🚀
The Ezamazwe Education Center for Innovation was selected from our Launch League Green cohort to run a pilot programme, leveraging the green Idea-Stage Programme toolkit. 33 local entrepreneurs were trained, and several presented their business ideas at the event using the Launch League canvas.
The event was attended by local stakeholders, and it was inspiring to witness such strong commitment to supporting young entrepreneurs and to fostering the green economy.
A huge thank you to the UK South Africa Tech Hub team for sponsoring the EmpowerGreen Limpopo programme, and the continued support for the Launch League hub community. We’re sure this pilot programme will be a launchpad for even more support for local entrepreneurs.
Launch League helps hub teams to develop their local entrepreneurship ecosystems by providing quality tools and training, and developing a community of practice. Through the UK South Africa Tech Hub Launch League, we provide open-license, customisable toolkits for hubs and entrepreneur support organisations. This allows us to extend and amplify our work into rural areas like Tzaneen.
