SAIS 2 celebrated two milestones at the SA Innovation Summit in September 2021

Eleven Southern African social impact startups travelled to Finland to participate in the BOOST UP 2021 Final Pitch Event

SAIS 2 has opened a call for applications for Southern African Startups looking to internationalise. Applications close on 18 November 2021.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is changing labour and production systems, requiring job seekers to have the skills and competencies necessary to adapt to African firms' changing needs, including the need for greater automation. ITTHYNK and Apps & Girls took action to prepare African youths with skills necessary in this rapidly changing job market.

In this first post in a series of articles to show SAIS 2 Innovation Fund projects, we take a look at how Regional Connect adjusted to continue despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

The BOOST UP 2021 call for applications is open from 10 May until 6 June 2021.
