A SPACE OF INFINITE POSSIBILITIES

#EXPLORE #IDEATE #INNOVATE #INCUBATE #ACCELERATE

Innovation Space is a niche experiential, ideational, consulting, design, mentor and training company.

Our focus is on people, technology, innovation and sustainable change.

We build "things" with people - from physical to digital structures, from businesses to communities, from once-off activations to sustainable projects.

Our clients cut across government and civil society organisations; corporates, start-ups, and SMMEs.

We work with entities of all sizes and in all stages of development.

We work one-on-one or in groups as the situation requires it.

But above all else, our work is interventional, progressive, purpose-driven and catalytic.
