SAVCA has assisted with the establishment of Saine, a vision born out of the realisation and belief that South African innovation is unique. It is context driven to fit the South African landscape and geared to enable us to compete with the best in the world as far as innovation and creativity is concerned. Saine will provide a platform for learning, sharing and talking innovation. It aims to activate the triple helix principle in South Africa where government, academia and industry come together and collaborate to find new solutions and create real value in the country. This network could become the ultimate innovation standard-setting platform in South Africa.
Where do you fit in?
Visit the interactive Saine-website (www.saine.co.za) regularly and discuss your innovation issues freely. Every week a new discussion topic is launched for everyone to participate, learn and benefit.
Host an innovation discussion on Saine’s website by choosing a provocative topic/article and ask other innovators what you like to know regarding it. Contact us to load it for you. Saine would like you to contribute shaping innovation in South Africa because innovation is everybody’s business.
You could even become an Innovation Thought Leader (a creator or sharer of your case studies/knowledge etc on innovation) on the Saine website. Advertise your innovation events & innovation management jobs here.
You can take part in innovation surveys to create more new knowledge on innovation. Reports will be made available to all participants.
Add www.saine.co.za as a link on your website (or have the Saine-logo activated as a link – we could send the logo to you) to help Saine to optimise innovation. In return, we would add you as a link on the Saine-website too. You could also be a sponsor on an annual basis and get your company’s logo on the Saine website.
