Background
to the scholarship
The Bertha Centre forSocial Innovation and Entrepreneurship was established as a specialised
unit at the UCT Graduate School of Business (GSB) in 2011, in partnership with Bertha Foundation,
a family foundation that works with inspiring leaders who are catalysts for
social and economic change.
Through this
partnership the GSB st
rengthens its commitment to
transformation and equality and UCT’s strategic goal to address key development
challenges facing Africa.
While the Bertha
Foundation supports activists, storytellers and lawyers across the world, who
are working to bring about social and economic justice, and human rights for
all; the Bertha Centre Scholars at the GSB are part of a larger Bertha
Foundation network of “troublemakers/radical actors” whose purpose it is to
challenge the status quo for social justice – in this case through social
innovation and entrepreneurship.
