Partnerships for purposeful solutions
Yin Connect (YinC) connects South African businesses with international trade, investment and skills related opportunities.
Why the name Yin?
An ancient Chinese philosophy, the yin and yang represent the concept of dualism. It describes how opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they may give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Characteristics of Yin are wisdom, imagination, peacefulness, relaxation, and satisfaction. Yin is also the feminine aspect of nature and energy, so this has been incorporated into the company since it resonates with the founder’s outlook.

Yin Connect was founded by Yvonne Iyer.
