UP Business Incubator

The University of Pretoria Business Incubator (UPBI) is a rapid business incubator based at the University of Pretoria. We help aspiring young entrepreneurs build the companies that will shape the future by equipping them with the tools, skills, and connections that they need to turn that dream into a tangible reality. <br> <br> We here at the UPBI believe that young entrepreneurs are the drivers who will take the world to greater heights of economic justice and involvement for all. All they need is a kickstart to be pointed in the right direction. <br> <br> HOW IT WORKS<br> The UPBI is open to all students of the University of Pretoria, regardless of degree or year of study. To be a part of the incubator, students must first apply with either a business idea or an already running business, and then be interviewed. Once they have passed the application process, students are inducted into the incubator as incubatees. They are then eligible to attend a series of talks hosted by select speakers. The incubatees will thereafter take the knowledge they have accumulated at the negotiations and pitch their startups to a panel of judges. <mark>Thereafter, the most outstanding startups and incubatees will be selected to be personally managed by the incubator managers to fine-tune the startups, get set up to run the business, and meet investors and potential partners.</mark>
