The programme is also looking to attract BEE candidates. However, CiTi reassures that all entrepreneurs are encouraged to apply.
The InnoTech programme was first introduced after CiTi entered a multimillion rand partnership with the country’s telecommunications giant, Telkom, in May this year.
The partnership forms part of the telecom’s R100-million FutureMakers initiative.
