A partnership for driving technology innovations in Africa’s emerging markets has been formed between South Africa-based University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business (UCT GSB) and telecommunications company MTN.

In a three-year partnership announced last month (23 February), MTN has invested US$1.3 million in the company’s sponsored initiative called MTN Solution Space — an established innovation hub at GSB, that taps MTN’s technology expertise and the GSB’s focus on African-aligned business practices.

“The goal of this partnership is not to develop smarter technologies, but more relevant technologies.”
