Payments Receipts
• SA is a net importer of technology
• The gap between imports and exports has
been increasing
• Points to increasing local demand for
technology
4. SA’s current account deficit
www.dst.gov.za 4
Manufacturing Trade Deficit
• Manufactured goods made up 52% of merchandise
exported in 2012, up from 41% in 1994
• SA’s growing trade deficit in the manufacturing sector is
a structural concern for the economy
5. 5
Rational for industry R&D funding
?
R&D / Technology /
New Knowledge:
direct impact on
competitiveness &
innovation
NDP & NGP:
Role of RDI in
economic growth
TYIP : Develop and
capacitate a knowledge
economy
IPAP: invest in innovation & technology to
ramp up competitiveness in production &
services sectors of the economy
10. Motivation for IIP
DST allocated R500 million over 2013/14 MTEF to develop and
implement the Industry Innovation Partnership (IIP) Programme
Key goals:
Leverage industry investment in RDI by stimulating increased RDI
co-funding & participation by industry players in projects to
maintain and increase their export market share
Mitigate against under-investment in technology & innovation
in identified niche and strategic sectors of SA economy so as to
improve their competitiveness
Key long-term outcomes measure will be increased sector
contribution to GDP through stronger RDI-based industrial
development
11. IIP Initiatives
Titanium Development (existing CoC)
Satellite Development & Manufacturing
CSIR
(Bio-manufacturing, Nano-upscaling, Bio-refinery & Photonics)
ICT Industry Partnerships (CSIR Meraka)
Nanotechnology Innovation Centre
Sector Innovation Fund (SIF)
12. Sector Innovation Funds
DST intervention to enhance economic competitiveness of
participating sectors
Encourages private sector to co-invest with government in
RDI activities that address competitiveness and sustainability
of participating sectors
Managed by Industry associations or bodies
Formal entities
representing interest of members
Industry identifies challenges & determines own RDI agenda
13. Key Performance Indicators
RDI outputs (HCD, knowledge
products, scientific publications)
Absorption capacity and/or rate iro
HCD
Knowledge/technology transfer
No. of knowledge products
transferred
To whom (big companies/SMMEs;
previously disadvantaged players;
etc)
Jobs created or sustained
New enterprises created or
supported
Amount of funding contributed by
sector
Increase/sustaining of market share,
including exports
Increased contribution to GDP (long
term)
Measured at impact, outcomes and output levels
Some key performance indicators:
14. Complexities and considerations
Must use the process to better understand and appreciate
the complexities of R&D funding in the private sector
Signaled that performance measure is not simply matching
funding for the SIF but increases in the level of R&D within
the sector (even in-house funding)
SIF is a crucial initiative under the proposed MTSF target
1.5% GERD by 2019
DST aims to secure continued public funding beyond the
ECSP and at significantly higher levels

Statement:
• 98% of all
water
resources

• Non-revenue
water is 36%
on average
~R7 billion /
yr
• By 2030
demand will

Means
Opportunities:
Better coordination
and improved
decision making
supported by the
translation of
research into
practise
More products and
services to reach
the market through
a better coordinated
water innovation
pipeline
National savings
through targeted
RDI investments
(e.g. By reducing
water losses to 15%,
through innovation
interventions, an
approximate R3.5 bil
would become
available for
investment in other
needs/areas)
Opportunities
Use of sources

manage
Supply
infrastructure
Operational
performance
Govern, plan &

Efficiency
Monitoring and
collection
Increase ability to make use of more sources of
water, including alternatives.
Improve governance, planning and management of
supply and delivery.
Improve adequacy of performance of supply
infrastructure.
Run water as a financially sustainable business by
improving operational performance.
Improve governance, planning and management of
demand and use.
Reduce losses and increase efficiency of
productive use.
Improve performance of pricing, monitoring,
metering, billing and collection.
21. Pull together the research and
commercialisation stages of the water
innovation continuum.
• Demonstrate water technologies in
operational environments (piloted at
scale).
• Assess the performance, validity,
impact (social, environmental, etc.)
and suitability of the technology.
• Build multi-sectoral and cross-
disciplinary partnerships in support
of technology demonstrators.
• Disseminate information widely to
promote technology adoption,
investment, and user-confidence as
well as communicate gaps in
research, etc.
• Promote and support water
entrepreneurship and relevant skills
development in the water
technologies space.

laboratory and proving them in real-
world test situations

Waste RDI Roadmap
Strengthen skills and generate evidence to optimise
decision-making around the movement of waste
across the country (logistics, assets, resources)
Develop, evaluate, demonstrate, localise and deploy
technologies to support municipalities and industry
in diverting waste away from landfill towards value-
add
Strengthen skills in methods, tools, models and
techniques and apply these to generate evidence to
inform the management of waste
Strengthen skills and generate evidence to inform
decision-making, planning and policy development
by government and industry
Strengthen skills, generate evidence, deploy
technologies to reduce the impacts of waste on
receiving environments
Deepen understanding of the socio-economic
opportunities provided by waste, but also the
threats that waste poses to human health
How
Problem
Statement:
• 90% of South
Africa’s waste
goes to
landfill
• Resulting in
loss of
resources to
the economy
• Resulting in
social
(human
health) and
environment
al impacts
• Municipalitie
s face
challenges in
delivering
services and
diverting
waste from
landfill
• Alternative
waste
treatment
typically
more
expensive
Opportunities:
• Preventing
waste creates
opportunities
for industry to
increase value-
addition and
competitiveness
• Diverting waste
from landfill
creates
opportunities
for new direct
and indirect
jobs and
enterprises
• Improved
management of
waste reduces
risks to human
health and
environment
