The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has teamed up with the Craft and Design Institute (CDI) to launch the timbuktoo Creatives Lab in South Africa – a dynamic innovation and acceleration programme aimed at unlocking the growth potential of the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs).
As part of the global UNDP timbuktoo initiative, the Creatives Lab is an acceleration programme which forms part of the soon-to-be-launched timbuktoo Creatives Hub in District Six, which will provide a physical space for entrepreneurs to connect, collaborate and create.
Set to support 15 creative businesses in 2025, the initiative will provide tailored mentorship, access to enabling technologies, and investment-readiness support to drive job creation, business scalability and sustainable development. Applications are open now until May 7.
