Description:
|
Events in the past year have underscored the central role that innovation and technology transfer can, and should, play in South Africa’s national development. New ideas and knowledge are increasingly becoming key to making the country competitive in the international arena. 2006 saw the review of South Africa’s National System of Innovation by the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Partly in response to this, the Department of Science and Technology launched its Ten Year Innovation Plan (2007 to 2016) which provides concrete goals and objectives to enable South Africa to strengthen its performance in this area. Once again the role that the higher education sector can play is central to the success of this strategy. |
