What is SAEPRIS?

SAEPRIS is South Africa’s Enterprise Portfolio Registry and Compliance System, designed to formalize, document, and verify the legitimacy and capacity of enterprises across the country.

  • Machinery & equipment programs
  • Supplier development & incubation
  • Market access facilitation
  • Cybersecurity & digital protection tools
  • Preferential procurement positioning
