Welcome to the South African Institute for Entrepreneurship
Vision
The South African Institute for Entrepreneurship has a vision of a dynamic culture of entrepreneurship in South Africa that promotes entrepreneurial behaviour and resourcefulness in youth and adults and assists in the eradication of poverty through the creation of effective entrepreneurs.
Purpose
The SAIE develops innovative materials that utilize original, creative methodologies and trains educators, trainers and community-based organisations to convey business skills, uncover entrepreneurship qualities and ensure sustainable economic development and wealth creation.
Our heritage
The South African Institute for Entrepreneurship (SAIE) was born out of the Triple Trust Organisation (TTO) in 1996 in recognition of the critical need for easily accessible financial literacy training materials for both the small enterprise sector and for schools.
