Expansion involves the action of expanding or increasing something in size, number or importance. Awareness involves an increased or better understanding of a situation, subject matter, system, process, mandate, etc. Capacity building can be defined as the process of developing and strengthening the skills, instincts, abilities, processes and resources that the institution and/or specific components therein, need to survive, adapt and thrive in a fast-changing world. |

COMMERCIALISATION / ENTREPRENEURIAL |
Commercialisation is the process of managing or running something principally, or in part, for financial gain. This is the process of bringing new products or services to the market, internally or externally to the institutional space.

It is the process of developing, organising and running a new business to generate profit, while taking on financial risk. Entrepreneurial activities can lead to full-blown commercialisation activities, in the long run. |
