Wits Commercial Enterprise manages everything - planning, logistics and delivery - so you can focus on ideas and connections. From research conferences to hybrid industry events, we make it happen.

In partnership with Johannesburg Water, the Wits School of Geosciences and Wits Commercial Enterprise are developing a groundbreaking groundwater system bringing clean, reliable water to Johannesburg’s informal settlements while showcasing Wits-led research in action. The system, combining engineering with hydrogeological science, will deliver 150–225 litres of water per person per day to more than 2,600 residents in Region G. Beyond installation, the Wits research team will work alongside Johannesburg Water’s technical specialists for two years of ongoing monitoring and evaluation, ensuring the system remains sustainable and easy to maintain.

10 years. 68 countries. One Wits idea. Happy 10th anniversary to SmartSpot Quality A decade ago, this Wits spin-out made its first commercial sale. Today it helps laboratories in 68 countries across six continents make sure their diagnoses can be trusted. A TB diagnosis can change a life. So can a wrong one. Labs test SmartSpot’s non-infectious specimens exactly as they would patient samples. If a result comes back wrong, SmartSpot finds the cause so the lab can fix it before it reaches a patient. The specimens stay stable at room temperature for up to 36 months and need no cold chain, so a lab’s full year of supply ships at once, cutting shipping costs by 67%. The technology was developed at Wits in 2010 by Bradford Cunningham, Lesley Scott and Bavesh Kana. It is now WHO-endorsed, US-patented and a proud part of the Wits Commercial Enterprise spin-out portfolio. Wits academics: is your research ready to go further?
