It is wise to Google your idea first, as you may find that someone else has already created a product similar to your idea. If you are an undergraduate student you are not required to disclose your idea to the Innovation Office and you are encouraged to contact the
Propella Business Incubator (Nelson Mandela University’s incubator) with your idea. If you are a post-graduate student you must contact the Innovation Office on 041 504 4309 or
innovation@mandela.ac.za to discuss your idea with us.
