Guest speaker and mentor, Arthur Mexico, addresses learners during iAccelerate SA’s first session of the 2026 cohort.
The newest cohort of iAccelerate SA has officially embarked on its four-month entrepreneurial journey, bringing together 24 high school learners in Cape Town to build strong business foundations and explore creative problem-solving.
Following an initial Open Day, the group of Grade 9 to 11 learners gathered for Session 1A: Ideate. The session marked the first full programme module aimed at developing entrepreneurial thinking, testing business ideas, and working toward the cohort's final Pitch Day.
iAccelerate SA 2026 cohort learners watch pitches from the programme’s previous cohort during their first session.
Designed to introduce learners to the "I-We-It" Process Approach, the launch session focused on practical activities, self-awareness, and team collaboration.
