New initiative brings additional benefits to Hub community
The latest value-add initiative from the corridors of The Innovation Hub, exclusive for members of the INNOV8 community, was the recent launch of the SevN Days series of interactive business seminars aimed at sharing insights into key business management and strategic decision-making principles.
SevN Days is being presented in partnership with FuTioN - one of the Hub's Knowledge Partners - as a free valued-added service for members of the local high-tech and knowledge-intensive community.
The Innovation Hub's Knowledge Partners form part of a select group of companies and individuals who generously support the efforts of innovators and entrepreneurs.
Seen discussing new ideas at the launch of The Innovation Hub’s SevN Days programme were ltr Alan Dunlop (Hahn & Hahn), Eon de Koker (TechSolutions), Franklin Pieterse (Fution), and Colin MacKenzie (Adams & Adams).

SevN Days is a series of highly interactive short seminars aimed at helping innovators and entrepreneurs launch, or accelerate, their businesses into the future. The seminars are designed to assist members of the INNOV8 community to boldly charter new business opportunities and to truly realise the potential of their ventures.
The first seminar, entitled A Strategic Approach to Business, was put together to serve as a foundation event. Importantly for entrepreneurs and start-up ventures, the seminar considered the need for strategic planning and the merits of setting a strategic course of action that flows from a clearly defined strategic intent.
The seminar leader will be FuTioN founder and CEO, Franklin Pieterse, an acknowledged innovator, facilitator and visionary. Each seminar will focus on a specific business topic, followed by interactive question/answer and discussion/debate slots, with refreshments over business networking to close.
Established initially to provide innovative business strategy solutions to ICT companies, to enable them to win in the African market, FuTioN now specialises in supporting companies in high-tech sectors to survive tough market conditions by repositioning them for future success.
If you are not yet part of the INNOV8 community, but would like to benefit from such value-adding opportunities and/or participate in the various business networking and other events, e-mail us at innov8@theinnovationhub.com or visit Value-Added Services on our website for further information.
