Funding for South African ICT Start-Ups

The Digital Divide is often cited as a major factor in the lagging economic growth that many third-world countries experience. The lack of access to dependable communications technology can severely hamper the development of entrepreneurial opportunities as well isolating the existent economy.

However, an non-profit organization called Enablis has announced the availability of early-stage funding, technical guidance, and business coaching for South African ICT entrepreneurs. By aiding in the development of a quality domestic ICT structure, the Digital Divide may shrink and allow South African businesses to increase their broader market participation.
