• Accelerate viable ventures identified by those entrepreneurs
• Maintain a local and international footprint through partnerships
• Run an alumni mentorship programme
• Use the clinic as a platform for entrepreneurship research
• Build a culture that treats entrepreneurship as a real alternative to employment
• Focus on digital and sustainable entrepreneurship (4IR, climate change)
