THE INNOVATION HUB – PROGRAMME & PROJECT NEWS:
CoachLab™ Graduates get to work!


At the end of last year Coachlab™ students had the opportunity to present some of the industry projects they had been working on at the graduation ceremony held at The Innovation Hub. That was then! Today, seven of these graduates are preparing to join the workforce as new appointees by Standard Bank (Pty) Ltd. while one of them is already working as a SAP Consultant.


The latest addition to the Hub’s 24,500m² 4-building property portfolio sees the development of a new 7,600m² multi-tenant building directly across from the existing plaza between the Innovation Centre and Enterprise Building 1.


Our Incubation programme is geared to go with Business Beat producing a total of 38 applicants competing for a Pre-incubation Start-up Package, and the Femtech Support Programme for Women resulting in 43 submissions from aspiring entrepreneurs in Gauteng.
