INTRODUCTION  Tshumisano Trust was established in 2003 by DST  Started with 3 Technology Stations to 15 currently  The Technology Station are hosted by UOTs  The programme is funded by DST to offer support for SMEs by facilitating Technology Transfer and Innovation  TSP draws strength from its partnerships with UOTs,GTZ,IDC,SABS,SEDA, Private sector and other institutions in the NSI  Currently the programme has migrated into TIA with other DST entities

DST funding instrument to Tshumisano  Technology Station Programme - Grant Operational Cost Equipments Projects  IAT – Ringfenced Funds  Internship Programme - Ringfenced Funds

ENVISAGED OUTCOMES Within the supported SMEs: Improved competitiveness through world class products, production technologies or services. Increasing capacity for continuing technology assimilation and innovation. Within the participating Universities: Improved and enriched R&D as well as teaching and learning activities leading to: Better understanding of SME needs

TSHUMISANO STRATEGIC INTENT: To be Within Reach of every SME in all Nine Provinces in South Africa!

TSHUMISANO’S TECHNOLOGY STATIONS & IATS

TECHNOLOGY STATIONS  Agri-food Processing at Cape Peninsula University of Technology (Cape Town)  Chemicals at Tshwane University of Technology (Ga-Rankuwa)  Composite Materials at Vaal University of Technology (Vanderbylpark)  Downstream Chemicals at NMMU (Port Elizabeth)  Chemicals at Mangosuthu Technikon in Umlazi (Durban)  Clothing and Textile Technology at CPUT (Bellville)

 Automotive Components at NMMU (Port Elizabeth)  Agrifood Processing at University of Limpopo (Polokwane)  Metals & Manufacturing at Central University of Technology (Bloemfontein)  Moulded and Re-enforced Plastics at Durban Institute of Technology (Durban)  Metal Casting and Foundry Technologies at University of Johannesburg  Electronics at Tshwane University of Technology (Tshwane)

Institutes for Advanced Tooling(IAT) Centers of Excellence for Tool Design, Tooling Technology Transfer, Research and Innovation. Through the Tshumisano Trust at Tshwane University of Technology, Walter Sisulu and Stellenbosch Universities

Objectives of the Institutes of Advanced Tooling  Integrative Approach to Tooling by looking at the whole lifecycle in the Tooling Manufacturing: From Design  Production  Tool Recycling  Economic Growth through enhanced competitiveness of SME’s in terms of: Design and formulation of curricula for knowledge driven advancement of scares skills (Designers, Toolmakers, IT) World class products via properly designed tools

Objectives of the Internship Programme Ensure graduate students are more employable through empowering them with practical work experiences with industry related projects; Ensure that candidates of designated groups be encouraged to partake in critical fields of Science, Engineering and Technology which includes post graduate levels; Address challenges inherent in Human Capital Development in the field of science, engineering, and Technology; and Involve a greater number of M-Tech and D-Tech students in the hope of increasing research activity. Ensure that students get experiential learning with an opportunity to receive their National Diploma certificates

WAY FORWARD

Way forward for TSP  The business of the Trust was transferred to the TIA as a going concern on the 1 st of April 2010  The result would be that the existing rights and obligations of the Trust were taken over by TIA  All assets and liabilities were taken over by TIA at the carrying values as of the 1 st of April 2010
