The Cape IT Initiative (CITi) is a passionate, proactive, industry-demand driven non-profit organization that creates initiatives, products and programmes that deliver results for our clients.

We were established in 1998 to address systemic challenges undermining the growth and sustainability of the technology eco-system (including IT, ICT, ICTe, Tech&Design, mobility, user interface design and software – both proprietary and FOSS) in South Africa.

The Cape IT Initiative Group is the “mothership” of the following “brands” and companies:

• The Bandwidth Barn (now called TheBarn) (a wholly owned subsidiary (Pty) Ltd company) (http://www.facebook.com/BandwidthBarn)

• CapaCITi 1000 (currently a Business Unit of CITi) (http://www.facebook.com/capaciti1000)  and  (http://www.capaciti1000.org.za)

• IT Heroes and Future IT Heroes (a project) (www.itheroes.org.za)

• CodersRCreative (a project) (https://twitter.com/CodersRCreative)

We were founded in Cape Town, Western Cape but our initiatives benefit startups, graduates and organisations from across Africa.
