Seven student entrepreneurs from Stellenbosch University (SU) have advanced to the regional round of the 2025 Entrepreneurship Development in Higher Education’s (EDHE) Entrepreneurship Intervarsity competition. This initiative, now in its seventh year, is designed to spotlight the student-led innovations that are tackling real-world South African-focused challenges.
Backed by SU LaunchLab, the University’s business incubator and a driving force behind student entrepreneurship on campus, these finalists will receive training and mentorship in preparation for a chance to claim the national title, a R100 000 cash prize and the opportunity to take their ventures to the next level.
The EDHE Entrepreneurship Intervarsity brings together 26 universities across six regions. The theme for 2025 is centred around sustainable and scalable innovations, aligning closely with global challenges such as climate change, health, resource depletion, food shortages, environmental sustainability, and social inequality.
