The Technology Innovation Agency (TIA), an entity of the Department of Science, Technology, and Innovation (DSTI), has officially launched the Women Technology and Innovation Programme (WTIP).
This initiative aims to address systemic challenges in funding, support, and development for women entrepreneurs in the technology and innovation sector. While South Africa has made progress in fostering women’s entrepreneurship, access to funding remains a major hurdle.
Many women-owned businesses struggle to secure the financial resources needed to launch and scale their ventures, limiting their potential to contribute to economic and community development.
