Tshimologong Precinct is currently accepting applications for its City of Johannesburg : Johannesburg Innovation Exchange (JIX) Gig-Economy Entrepreneurship Programme 2026. Applicants are encouraged to click here to learn more about this opportunity and apply for it.
The Johannesburg Innovation Exchange (JIX) is a youth innovation and entrepreneurship initiative commissioned by the City of Johannesburg's Department of Economic Development (IRED Unit) and deliveredby Wits Tshimologong Digital Innovation Precinct. It is designed to grow inclusive economic participation across Johannesburg's inner city by backing the young people who are already building their own income.
JIX Launchpad is the programme's flagship incubation stream. It meets gig-economy entrepreneurs where they are — freelancers, content creators, designers, tailors, food vendors, drivers, tradespeople and service providers who are already earning but lack the structure, records, networks and digital skills to turn a hustle into a durable business. Over a focused, practical programme of workshops, one-on-one mentorship, business clinics and a public Demo Day, participants build a complete business toolkit and a credible plan to grow.
