Innovation City’s Startup of The Year Competition
Since its launch in 2022, Innovation City’s Startup of the Year competition has become more than just a title. It’s a platform for breakout companies to move from hidden gem to household name. Each year, ten high-growth startups are selected from across South Africa and invited to compete in front of a panel of investors, industry leaders, and ecosystem enablers.
