ABSA

We see Design Indaba as a critical forum, where creativity meets opportunity. Where ideas are born that’ll ultimately translate to a better economic future for all South Africans. Our creative industry is experiencing exciting growth, growth that needs to be nurtured. As a company that aims to be the leading financial services brand in design, creativity and innovation, we’re proud to sponsor Design Indaba for the fourth year running.

Creativity’s central to the Absa brand as can be seen through our accolades: the IFS Award for Outstanding Innovation for Most Promising New Product, Most Innovative Bank in Africa 2009 by African Banker and The Banking Technology Award for The Most Innovative Use of IT. This year we’re showcasing our commitment to the industry by finding ways to overcome obstacles hindering creative thinking. 2010 marks the 25th anniversary of the Absa L’Atelier Art Competition; celebrations kick off at the Design Indaba.
