Seacom has announced a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with broadcast and digital services company Sentech, aimed at accelerating the development of small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs) within South Africa’s telecommunications landscape.
The partnership sets out a 12-month plan to foster a vibrant SMME ecosystem through mentorship, training, funding, and shared innovation platforms designed to enhance digital inclusion.
The collaborative effort will provide SMMEs with practical training in key digital technologies such as fibre optics, cloud computing, and broadcasting. It will also include internship exchanges and access to educational resources focused on increasing digital literacy, especially in township communities. Additionally, local content creators and small businesses will gain access to affordable hosting solutions, improved hybrid content delivery options, and targeted support for digital migration processes.
