For the third consecutive year, Absa is a proud co-sponsor of Design Indaba. This pioneering event embodies the cutting edge of innovation and inspires those in the creative industry to utilise their talent for economic gain and sustainability.

These ideals fit naturally with Absa’s continuous efforts to find innovative banking solutions that will enhance the lives of South Africans. With an arts portfolio that includes one of the largest corporate art collections in the world, a 24-year sponsorship of the Absa L’Atelier Competition, and arts and culture festivals such as the Absa KKNK and Aardklop, we view our involvement with Design Indaba as an extension of our contribution to the development of the creative fields.

As South Africa’s leading retail bank, offering financial services and products to more than 8.8-million customers, we believe that Design Indaba is a place where ideas are born and where creativity meets business opportunity; ultimately translating into a better economic future for those who attend and participate in the event. As a Proudly South African organisation, we take pride in our involvement with Design Indaba and its significant contribution to the economy of our country.
