CALLING ALL IMPACT DRIVEN TECH ENTREPRENEURS
All across South Africa, there is enormous entrepreneurial potential and creativity, particularly in the tech space. That creativity is particularly vibrant among young entrepreneurs and women entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, Ireland has become a global tech hub and the location of choice for most of the world’s largest computer and software companies, and is now the second largest exporter of computer and IT services globally.
Therefore, through the Tech Challenge, we want to provide a platform for cooperation and sharing of expertise between the South African and Irish tech ecosystems for mutual benefit. The Tech Challenge is an important part of the Embassy of Ireland’s work in South Africa to support inclusive economic growth and to foster trade and economic relations between our two countries.
