SayPro is working with Erasmus+ to strengthen South African universities’ innovation ecosystems through strategic European partnerships. This initiative brings universities into direct collaboration with EU institutions to co-develop strategies that promote research commercialization, entrepreneurial education, and industry engagement. SayPro facilitates these partnerships by identifying areas of synergy and providing support for sustainable collaboration. Erasmus+ enables knowledge exchange and capacity building across borders. SayPro ensures that innovation systems developed are inclusive, student-focused, and aligned with local development goals. Together, SayPro and Erasmus+ are enhancing how universities support innovation and entrepreneurship for long-term national growth.
