UCT Upstarts is the Vice-Chancellor’s Social Innovation Challenge. It’s a joint-initiative between UCT, the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation & Entrepreneurship and Super Stage. UCT Upstarts is igniting a ‘Student Start-up Nation’ by creating a parallel university experience – one that produces a generation of both graduates and social entrepreneurs - who solve real-world problems from campus, and launch start-up realities beyond it. UCT Upstarts is building a ‘Social Innovation Culture’ that literally does make Africa work better and is helping to create an ‘Innovation Economy’ that actually does create jobs – starting from campus!
