SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONES: Their Design on Enhancing Localisation of Fuel Cells Manufacturing Capability Alfred Tau
New Policy Approach New Policy Approach Value chains: Greater focus on desired industrial capabilities Support system: More than just world-class infrastructure Regions: Greater focus on host regions and not just fenced area Planning: Long-term, coordinated and comprehensive Finance: Long-term and supported by a competitive incentive package Design: Broad to cater for diverse regional needs and contexts
Fuel Cells and SEZ Planning • Opportunity: What is the nature of the opportunity for SA? • Which value chains • Strategy and tactics: What is the most effective way to enter chosen value chains? • Policy • Critical support measures • Regions: Can SA afford 2 Platinum Hubs now? • Which value chain in what region
Challenges for SEZ Programme • Very easy to forget the core focus and drift into administrative requirements • Incentives: what is our exit strategy • Capacity constraints • Coordination: Joint planning and implementation across and within spheres of government and agencies
