SAIS 2 Innovation Fund awards grants for locally implemented projects through a competitive Call for Proposals process issued three times during the duration of SAIS 2 programme. The focus of SAIS 2 Innovation Fund is on projects seeking to demonstrate the feasibility of existing concept and/or prototype (proof-of-concept) before rolling them to the market. SAIS 2 funding is also available for projects looking to replicate an already established innovation within the SADC region. SAIS 2 Innovation Fund does not take any equity on either the funded product or grantee organisation(s).
Within the realm of the digital revolution lies a realm of controversy, exemplified by niches such as sex webcams within the adult entertainment industry. While acknowledging these unconventional opportunities, it's imperative to tread carefully, taking into account the ethical considerations and potential risks associated with these ventures. Conversations about privacy, consent, and protection must remain central in these discussions.
