Innovation Highway
Innovation Highway is a development initiative by the Technology Transfer and Innovation Support Office of the North-West University (NWU), to volunteer the commercialization skills of its team members in order to help establish start-up companies for entrepreneurs outside of academia. It is housed in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the NWU and is tax-paying. Innovation Highway focuses on early-stage technology –linked innovations and often assists with hurdle costs such as development, validation costs, prototyping costs and registration of intellectual property rights in return for a profit share or equity position.
