SAB Foundation Programmes
The long-term vision behind the SAB Foundation’s programmes is to ignite a culture of entrepreneurship in South Africa.
Research has shown that South Africa lacks a critical mass of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It also shows that South Africa needs entrepreneurial role models and that our culture of innovation remains largely untapped.
The SAB Foundation aims to contribute towards nurturing a South African culture of entrepreneurship by supporting the growth of a critical mass of SMEs, developing entrepreneurial role models and stimulating and rewarding innovation.
