SUNCom
SUNCom, a subdivision of the Innovation and Commercialisation Division, emanated from SU’s objective to streamline and reduce operational costs. As the commercialisation arm of the university, SUNCom has the sole mandate to commercialise business opportunities within SU, whether through a separate internal business unit or a spinout company. These commercialisation outputs do not include the commercialisation of research outputs.
Supporting Stellenbosch University through business
SUNCom’s departments operate independently, providing a wide range of services across SU.
