3. 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

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

5. ENVISAGED OUTCOMES • Within the supported SMEs: • Improved competitiveness throughworld 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

6. TSHUMISANO STRATEGIC INTENT: To be Within Reach ofevery SME in all Nine Provinces in South Africa!

7. TSHUMISANO’S TECHNOLOGY STATIONS & IATS

8.

10. 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 Sisuluand Stellenbosch Universities

11. 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

12. 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
