The workshops are free and open to anyone who wants to spend their day learning.
ENGEN Pitch & Polish is also going digital, after celebrating its tenth year in 2019, it has decided it’s time to expand the programme by breaking geographical boundaries and giving everyone across the country the chance to learn and compete. No matter where the entrepreneur is in South Africa, they can enter the ENGEN Pitch & Polish competition or watch and learn online.
