Design Week South Africa, powered by Yoco, is a curated calendar of events and immersive experiences that will showcase the future of South African design, through knowledge-sharing, inclusivity and support.
Together with Yoco, our mission is to create South Africa’s leading design platform. A platform that celebrates design as an expression of creative thinking and making, creates connections, jumpstarts collaborations, and cultivates the next generation of creative leaders.
We’re aiming to boost the local creative economy with an approach that is industry-led and increases the public’s knowledge, awareness, and appreciation of design while generating and collecting open-source data around local design sectors.
Yoco builds financial tools and solutions for businesses of all sizes and all kinds. They understand and celebrate the crucial role the creative industry plays in the economy and society as a whole.
Yoco proudly supports Design Week South Africa, celebrating the many creative entrepreneurs through this platform.
