DigiBiz Network & Platform
DigiBiz network & platform
The DigiBiz Network provides an online space for the network members, consisting of past programme participants, to share information & advice, connect with peers, get access to training courses & participate in MasterMind groups.
Our digital platform connects entrepreneurs, Entrepreneur Support Organisations (ESOs) & ecosystem contributors for learning & collaboration. This platform was developed as part of the DigiBiz Programme, a collaboration between the UK Aid’s RISA Fund, the University of the Western Cape’s Centre for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, Catalyst for Growth & the EPI. Programme design & management is assigned to the EPI.
The DigiBiz Network aims to boost small business growth & innovation in South Africa through:
- Collaboration & knowledge sharing by Network Members;
- Hosting of online training courses with technology partners;
- Peer-support & learning through DigiBizMasterMinds;
- Raising awareness & promotion of collaboration through monthly DigiBiz Public Webinars;
- Defining & promoting “best-practice” through Communities of Practice workshops; &
- Publishing of Quick Tips & other information relevant to small businesses & supporting practitioners who have an interest in adopting digital solutions.
In addition, social media platforms are leveraged to facilitate engagement & sharing of information by Network Members.
The DigiBiz Network also extends to our social media pages
