New partner for Cape-based business accelerator

Telkom and the Cape-based business accelerator, the Bandwidth Barn (the former home of Bizcommunity.com's head office), have signed a deal which sees the telecom company sponsoring the Barn R1 million a year for three years. Telkom will receive naming rights, so the Barn will now be called Bandwidth Barn, partnered by Telkom. For the Barn, the deal offers additional funds to build new business support services for its tenants. The Telkom Bandwidth Barn is a subsidiary of the Cape IT Initiative (CITI), a networking and cluster development agency that brings together people, ideas and capital to grow the Western Cape's ICT sector.
