Wits Commercial Enterprise is wholly owned by the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits). We help Wits researchers and academics turn their ideas into products and systems that fix social challenges. Here’s how we do it: Research support We’re your easily accessible one-stop channel that links Wits's researchers with the external social and economic world. Our work contributes to the university’s sustainable long-term future through income generation and value creation. In turn, this benefits you, the researcher, and society. Together, we will apply the wealth of intellectual capital that calls Wits home, coming up with successful solutions to your clients’ challenges. Innovation support Here, we support and facilitate turning world-class research into work that has social impact. Our assistance will not cost you anything apart from the time it takes for you to walk the innovation journey with us. We help you develop technology based on your research and transfer that technology into products, processes and services that can benefit society. Your innovation journey is protected by the Wits Intellectual Property Policy. Short courses This unit offers turnkey solutions and customised learning experiences. At Wits, we have access to great minds working in multiple disciplines and, through our short courses, we share them with you. We are the benchmark destination in short-course delivery, offering face-to-face and online support, or a combination of both. Visit our cutting-edge Digital Campus platform to find out more.
