As it is moving to keep its operations abreast of ICT trends, Telkom is also playing a considerable part in developing the country’s small and medium enterprises sector.
According to Financial Mail, The Telkom giant revealed about its plans to establish a technology fund to invest in digital startups to seek out new revenue to offset falling income from its core fixed-line voice business.
The digital starts up is not the first for Telkom. The company already funds innovative ideas through its FutureMakers programme, which provides seed capital to technology entrepreneurs to help them take their business ideas to the market. FutureMakers also works with incubation hubs.
