GreenMatter and the Young Water Professionals (a division of the Water Institute of Southern Africa) manage the Imvelisi Enviropreneur Programme. This DST funded training programme is an initiative that supports young people interested in running water and biodiversity related businesses, through the creation of an early ideation training programme that enables participants to develop their business idea, understand their market, conceptualize a business plan and refine their pitching skills. We support participants to move themselves to the next step – by applying for incubation support, registering a business or by helping them to secure funding for a business start-up.
