Dutch Consul-General, Bonnie Horbach explains, â€œSouth Africa and the Netherlands are both innovation hubs, and the companies participating in #cocreate2ACCELERATE are some of the most innovative in their field. It is important for us to support South African SMEs by creating mutually beneficial long term partnerships and economic growth.

The participants in the program include gaming development companies Sea Monster and RetroEpic; app builder Polymorph; the app and innovation specialist & Innovation and mobile first agricultural technology business GreenFingers Mobile. The team of Dutch innovators include disruptive thinker and public speaker Jan Henk Bouman; digital nomad Esther Jacobs; global entrepreneur Kevin Weijers; gaming entrepreneur Anke Kuipers and business strategist Jabbo Smulders.

The five challenges that will be addressed range from expanding a company using a flat organisation structure, to taking a business overseas. The teams will collaborate extensively to co-create solutions to local business challenges and establish international partnerships. New Dutch investors CM Telecom and T-Mobile’s innovation lab T-Next have partnered with the #cocreateSA to share knowledge and experience among the participants.
