The Joburg Centre for Software Engineering (JCSE) is an official Centre at based at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits University), Johannesburg. The JCSE was established in 2005 as a partnership between academia, government, and industry to promote skills development, research, innovation, and best practices in software engineering, software development, and related ICT fields.[1] This partnership between three major sectors, the City of Johannesburg, the University of the Witwatersrand and ICT and financial services[2] was supposed to lead to a growing infrastructure base, better governance and investments in Gauteng.[3]
The JCSE initiated a digital innovation hub known as Wits University’s Tshimologong Digital Innovation Precinct. This precinct was launched in 2016,[4] with the intention of reaching greater heights of industrialisation.

A year later, the 2017 Tshimologong Precinct was spun off by Adam Habib as The Wits Incubator (Pty) Ltd
company (Tshimologong).[6]
