Working alongside the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Solution
Space believes health entrepreneurship can help tackle Africa’s health challenges. With the

The Healthy Futures South Africa initiative promotes:

• Youth empowerment: Young entrepreneurs are provided with basic training in entrepreneurial skills to drive both social impact and economic growth.
• Social entrepreneurship: Start-ups with a health focus get help in turning innovative ideas into social enterprises that encourage healthy living.
• Entrepreneurship: The focus is on validating start-ups, value creation, venture acceleration, and commercialisation of start-ups in the health and healthy living sectors.
