DIP — Design Innovation Program
Our Programmes

Structured to take you from idea to impact.

Three programmes, one mission: to build the next generation of design-led innovators and entrepreneurs across Africa.

Every DIP programme is built around the same conviction: that great ideas deserve great execution, and great execution requires a combination of design thinking, community, and mentorship. Whether you're a student with a sketch, a founder with a prototype, or a professional curious about innovation — there's a programme for you.
