Our Mission & Purpose

Our mission is to champion radical economic transformation in South Africa’s STEAMIE sectors (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship). We advocate for the meaningful participation and ownership of Black people and SMMEs, ensuring they are not just participants but key drivers of the digital economy.

We are united by a common goal: to build a truly inclusive and equitable ICT sector that reflects the diversity of South Africa and empowers its people.

Universal Access

We advocate for policies that guarantee unrestricted market entry, ensuring that every individual, regardless of background, has the opportunity to participate.

Ending Monopolization

We challenge monopolistic practices by fostering a distributed economic system that supports startups, SMMEs, and diverse business models to drive innovation.

Our Collaborative Approach

We believe in the power of partnership, uniting government, private enterprise, and civil society to create sustainable and impactful solutions for all.

Democratic and Inclusive

Our organization is member-driven and community-focused, ensuring that our strategies and actions are guided by the voices and needs of the people we serve.
