Dell Technologies says it is supporting black-owned and black women-owned small businesses in South Africa through its enterprise and supplier development initiatives.
Natasha Reuben, head of transformation at Dell Technologies South Africa, says the program focuses on helping SMEs in the ICT sector improve operational and financial capacity through infrastructure support, training and funding.
Eligible businesses must meet criteria, including majority black ownership, at least two years of operation and relevant compliance documentation such as a valid B-BBEE certificate or affidavit. Applicants are also subject to an audit process and interview stages.
Reuben says the company's broader development efforts include a development funding program aimed at expanding access to technology and education.
According to Dell Technologies, the initiative includes partnerships with universities, funding more than 50 scholarships annually for information technology students, and support for organizations such as the Sci-Bono Discovery Center, Christel House, the Student Health and Wellness Center organization, and Code for Change.
The company says these programs are part of its efforts to support entrepreneurship, skills development and access to technology in South Africa.
