What is the Hub?

The Hub is a social enterprise with the ambition to inspire and support imaginative and enterprising

ideas for a radically better world. We are a global community of people from every profession,

background and culture working at 'new frontiers' to tackle the world's most pressing social, cultural

and environmental challenges.

We offer places for meeting, working, learning, innovating and connecting in the world’s major cities.

We offer co-working space in an inspiring office environment where we focus at building connections

between our members locally and internationally.

We invite you to join the place where legacies are born!

Another world is not just possible, it’s happening. All around us individuals ranging from corporate

executives to community leaders, from policy-makers to freelance professionals are pursuing ideas and

initiatives for a better world. Hub Johannesburg aims to be a unique ecosystem designed to enable

these people to thrive.
