In addition, several seed grants will be awarded to deserving innovations. Grants include funding for the up scaling and commercialisation of the innovative solution, a process supported by the Foundation over a period of two years or longer, as needed. The size of the grants is designed to allow substantive progress to be made by the winners.
The awards form part of the Foundation's primary focus to ignite a culture of entrepreneurship in South Africa as a source of economic growth, job creation and innovation.
