Stellenbosch Network in partnership with Stellenbosch University, Launchlab, Ranyaka, SCAN and the Department of Science & Innovation’s Regional Innovation Support Programme (RISP) are excited to announce the 2024 edition of our #Ideasforchange Challenge.

To help solve some of the pressing social issues, specifically relating to crime, safety, and infrastructure such as transport, traffic and mobility, the #IdeasForChange Social Innovation Challenge aims to identify, support and develop ideas business models, process flows, and technology with the potential to improve the quality of life of citizens, lessen the social and environmental impact of rapid urban development and enhance the sustainability of local ecosystems on which Stellenbosch is dependent.
