Cisco South Africa has opened a ZAR 10 million incubation hub in Durban. This is the second facility of its kind built by the company in the country and aims to develop SMMEs as well as speed up their entry into the digital marketplace. The Durban hub, called Cisco Edge Incubation Centre, is part of the company's commitment to action priorities of the country's National Development Plan 2030 in terms of creating jobs, enhancing skills development and boosting economic growth.
The hub is a smart building with what Cisco says is cutting-edge technology, offering business facilities, including workspaces with high-speed broadband connectivity, video conferencing and collaboration platforms, as well as boardroom and training facilities. In addition, SMMEs will be able to connect with global Cisco experts, who can support them to develop business ideas and concepts in a digital world.
