TIA’s Enterprise Development accelerator programmes exist to change those odds. Through competition-based calls, young entrepreneurs are selected based on the innovation and potential of their ideas then put through a rigorous programme.

[TIAORGZA @tiaorgza]

South Africa’s 2026 Youth Month theme is “Reset at 50, The Future Calls” a call to reflect on history, confront present socio-economic challenges, and actively shape the nation’s future. For TIA, this is not a slogan. It is the work we have been doing for years.
