Kasi Tech Series Opens Digital Growth Opportunities for Township Entrepreneurs
Kasi Tech Series Opens Digital Growth Opportunities for Township Entrepreneurs. The Kasi Tech Series digital innovation platform has announced a new training initiative focused on artificial intelligence, automation, and cloud technologies for township businesses.
The programme, known as the Kasi Tech Series, is designed to connect township tech founders, digital service providers, and small businesses seeking to digitise their operations. Organisers say the series aims to strengthen technology ecosystem connections that help entrepreneurs build sustainable enterprises beyond informal hustle activity.
The initiative centres on practical training aligned with current market demands and the evolving information and communication technology landscape. Sessions will introduce practical artificial intelligence tools that small businesses can apply in daily operations, alongside automation strategies that reduce manual workloads and improve efficiency. Participants will also explore cloud solutions designed to support digital infrastructure and scalable growth.
The event is open to app developers, coders, founders building software or artificial intelligence solutions, IT support providers, and young people developing digital products. Attendance is free, but registration is compulsory. Applications close on 17 March 2026.

The programme is presented within the broader work of TEA, a township entrepreneur development platform that has supported enterprise growth across South Africa for more than a decade. According to information provided by TEA, more than 130,000+ entrepreneurs have benefited from its training and support programmes. In addition, over 500+ township based businesses have received grant funding and growth assistance.
Organisers say the Kasi Tech Series is structured around real market opportunities and emerging digital capabilities. By bringing together founders, service providers, and small enterprises, the platform aims to encourage practical adoption of technology in township economies. The focus remains on helping businesses strengthen operational efficiency, expand digitally, and build long term sustainability.
Registration is currently open, and organisers emphasise that spaces are limited. Those interested are encouraged to apply before the closing date to secure participation. The initiative forms part of continuing efforts to connect township entrepreneurs with digital tools and knowledge that support long term business development.
Organisers describe the series as a platform for learning, collaboration, and exposure to technologies shaping modern commerce. Through structured engagement, participants gain insight into practical applications that align with evolving digital business environments. The organisers state that building knowledge and connections today supports stronger enterprises tomorrow, reinforcing the role of township innovation within the broader national economy through continued participation and shared learning across communities and future programme cycles.
