Sandiso is the Founder of COOi Studios, which aims to become the leading partner in innovation strategy for African enterprises.
The company offers a variety of services, including idea validation, building innovation capabilities, and helping start-ups become enterprise-ready. Today, COOi Studios is delivering a range of open innovation projects in partnership with large enterprises and is collaborating with the government to provide feasibility assessment services and support the development of regional innovation ecosystems.
In addition to attending the Summit, being a One Young World Ambassador has helped Sandiso in expanding her global network, connecting her with donors, potential partners, and clients across the globe. She also gained insights into innovative solutions being implemented by businesses which helped her to adopt and adapt some of these approaches within her own initiative.
COOi Studios has impacted more than 200 women with their Reflecting Sustainable Business Summit 2024, an event that brought together dynamic women entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and change-makers to explore sustainable and innovative business practices.
