As we have entered Youth Month, we celebrate the young innovators who are proving that the future can be built on the wisdom of the past.

Through Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS), young people are transforming traditional knowledge into innovations that create impact, opportunities and sustainable solutions. The University of Venda, the University of Limpopo and North-West University continue to champion this journey by empowering the next generation of researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs.

The future of innovation is rooted in knowledge, culture and youth.
