The task to focus on the South African \u201cDigital Economy\u201d was steered to us with the vision of Leon Qwabe\u2019s food delivery startup venture \u2013 Order Kasi. While consulting on this wonderful project, we have also found a new market niche that may give birth to serial entrepreneurship, particularly within women of color in Khayelitsha township which has a 99.5% Black African community with a phase 2 scope in Langa and Gugulethu townships.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the week, students work on their group project, preparing for their group presentation to their peers and putting their business acumen to work. What\u2019s more, the Immersion Week offers opportunities to branch out into what Cape Town has to offer. Students discover the history, politics and culture of South Africa through daily lectures, and they also venture out to enjoy dinners with performances or go wine tasting and experience the local feel firsthand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns left-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"we-re-proud-of-our-dynamic-program-alumni-who-have-landed-roles-that-earn-them-an-average-annual-salary-of-37-209\">Every event planned allows them to both immerse themselves in the culture and expand their personal and professional networks.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cape-Town-Week-How-the-IE-Brown-Executive-MBA-drives-positive-entrepreneurial-change3.jpg\" alt=\"Cape Town Week: How the IE Brown Executive MBA drives positive entrepreneurial change\" class=\"wp-image-30913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cape-Town-Week-How-the-IE-Brown-Executive-MBA-drives-positive-entrepreneurial-change3.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cape-Town-Week-How-the-IE-Brown-Executive-MBA-drives-positive-entrepreneurial-change3-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cape-Town-Week-How-the-IE-Brown-Executive-MBA-drives-positive-entrepreneurial-change3-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cape-Town-Week-How-the-IE-Brown-Executive-MBA-drives-positive-entrepreneurial-change3-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Banu Ozkazanc-Pan, an associate professor at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brown.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brown University<\/a>, found the Immersion Week to be meaningful and impactful. He highlighted one of the organizations the group connected with, 16 on Lerotholi, in Langa Township. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>16 on Lerotholi is a space that uses art as an essential tool to foster understanding, empathy and solidarity within the Langa community, in South Africa at large, within the African continent and beyond. Additionally, the space showcases the brilliant powerhouses of creativity that the continent breathes. \u2014Banu said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Organizations like 16 on Lerotholi are the cultural hubs of true Cape Town culture. During their visit, students had the opportunity to network with co-founders, learn about the artists featured in the gallery and their business plans to further support artists, engage in social enterprise and develop the artist community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/business-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IE Business School<\/a>, we believe that pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and experiencing an unfamiliar environment forces you to think outside the box. Beyond working through culture shock, it also makes the class bond stronger, forging those powerful networks to last a lifetime. Our students carry this experience into their careers, no matter where they choose to leave their mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>I recently completed a super enriching visit to Cape Town this week to cap off my experience with the IE Brown Executive MBA and meet other alumni from the program.
