“TSHUMISANO”
is a Venda word meaning co-operation or
partnership, and in that spirit, the
Technology Stations Programme
offers support for South African Enterprises by
facilitating Technology Transfer and Innovation.
“TSHUMISANO”
Technology Stations Programme
is an Initiative of DST ,the
Department of Science and Technology to
Establish Technology Stations (Centers) at
Universities to Support SMME’s
ENVISAGED OUTCOMES
Within the supported SMME’s:
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 SMME needs
“TSHUMISANO”
Mission Statement: Tshumisano Trust acts as an Agency of the Department of Science and Technology in improving the Innovative Capacity and Competitiveness of SMME’s in areas of National Priority.
Strategic Intent: To be within reach of every SMME in all Nine Provinces in South Africa!

Key Initiatives for Tshumisano
FY 2006/7
Launch of Institutes for Advanced Tooling
Why Tooling??
Centrality of Tooling to Development
Tooling Design And Manufacture
Mining
Medical Appliances
PackagingAerospaceOthers
Plastics Automotive
Bottling Industry
But…..
South Africa faces serious skills shortage in this critical sectors: Designers, IT specialists, Project Managers and Toolmakers
South Africa is a net importer of Tools e.g. Local Automotive Industry imports over R3 billion worth of tools annually
Low levels of Investment in Machinery and Equipment by SMME’s in Tooling Industry
Benefits of a Competitive Tooling Industry
“For every R1 million invested in Tooling Equipment and Technology, over R250 million of Components can be produced Sustained Economic Development”.
Ref: Department of Trade and Industry’s Fund for Research into Industrial Development Growth and Equity (Fridge) into the Tool, Die and Mould Industry, 2006
Institutes for Advanced Tooling(IAT)
Centers of Excellence for Tooling Technology
Transfer, Research and Innovation.
at
Tshwane University of Technology and Stellenbosch University
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 SMME’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
PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY STATIONS
In AgriFood Processing
in
Mpumalanga & Limpopo
Strategic and Long Term Benefits
Enhanced Tshumisano’s National Footprint
Agri-food Station as Indespensible Anchor for
envisaged Provincial Techno-Park in Limpopo
Provincial Linkages to other Technology
based Growth Initiatives – Chemicals,
Toolmaking, Manufacturing, Clothing and
Textiles
Provincial Linkage to other resources and
expertise in Technology Stations across the
Country
Long Term Skills Development for Students
(internships), SMME’s and Rural Communities
in line with JIPSA.
Collaborative Agreements
IDC
Product and/or process Development projects for Funded SMME’s in Specific Sectors.
SABS
Preferential Rates for Tshumisano linked SMME’s in terms of : Testing, Certification and ISO accreditation.
SEDA
SMME Assessments and Sponsorship of Improvement Projects.
NPINPI
Productivity improvement among SMME’s
Challenges for Tshumisano
2006 – 2010
• Adequate Human Resource Capacity at The Trust and Technology Stations
• Requisite Capital Equipment investment to further enhance SMME Competitiveness
• Decline in SMME activity in specific sectors -e.g. Clothing and Textiles, Tooling, Automotives e.t.c.
• Institutional buy-in and academic participation in Trust’s Initiatives at Universities
• Strategic alignment with other SMME supporting Agencies and formations
