Formerly known as the Cape IT Initiative, CiTi was founded as a non-profit organisation in 1998 by a broad group of  industry stakeholders and inspired citizens.

Our vision is to develop Cape Town and the region as a global technology cluster and a vibrant hub for innovation that is a significant contributor to economic growth

Almost 20 years later CiTi continues to aspire and work towards this vision, primarily by being the ‘oil’ that connects the many diverse and
interested role players regionally and internationally, and the ‘engine’ that develops and implements innovative models to address  key industry challenges and blockages.

CiTi’s skills initiative, has been recognised as a valuable contributor to the development of necessary skills and professionals to the technology sector. CiTi’s established enterprise development programmes have attracted some of the sector’s leading blue-chips as partners
