Patronage and Sponsors

Patronage

The Innovation Hub is also a founding patron of Blue Catalyst, a company formed by Blue IQ to promote the successful commercialisation of sustainable start-up technology and knowledge-based business in Gauteng. The company has developed an Internet-based portal where entrepreneurs, mentors, investors and patrons can participate and collaborate in a formalised network. While our roles and approaches differ, the synergies between Blue Catalyst and The Innovation Hub, and the potential for mutual support, make these sister projects natural partners and offers great opportunity for creating future companies.
