Eco-Connect

Eco-connect is a pre-incubation program that helps young community entrepreneurs start green businesses. It was launched jointly by Comptoir de l’Innovation (CDI) and SA Business Resources Institute (SABRI).

There is a compelling case to reduce youth unemployment and conserve scare environmental resources. To tackle these issues, Eco-connect provides an 8 months holistic entrepreneurial training, as well as business opportunities and support to help unemployed youth launch startups in the green economy.

The program is divided into 4 phases of 2 months each : Ideation, Product Development, Business Administration training, and Business Launch. From learning to write a Business Plan to meeting financiers, the participants will embark on an entrepreneurial journey that will change their lives and their communities.
