1. OVERVIEW OF TIA 4Technology Innovation Agency

A national agency that supports the development and commercialisation of technology ideas for: Economic growth Improved quality of life Idea Impact THE TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION AGENCY (TIA) Technology Innovation Agency Annual Report 2015 TIA Taking Innovation Further Progression of ideas from TRL 3-8 Innovation - in the form of ideas and or inventions Market – in the form of ready made products 5

OUR MANDATE The mandate of TIA is derived from the provisions of the Technology Innovation Act (Act 26 of 2008), which establishes TIA as an Agency to promote the development and exploitation, in the public interest, of discoveries, inventions, innovations and improvements. The objective of TIA is to support the State, through the DST, in stimulating and intensifying technological innovation in order to improve economic growth and the quality of life of all South Africans by developing and exploiting technological innovations. In addition, the Public Finance Management Act (Act No. 1 of 1999) (PFMA) classifies TIA as a Schedule 3A public entity. Chapters 5 and 30 of the National Treasury Regulations provide a framework upon which TIA must prepare a Strategic Plan that is consistent with the period covered by the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework for approval by the relevant Executive Authority.

2. ALIGNMENT TO NATIONAL POLICIES 9Technology Innovation Agency

10 Technology Innovation Agency ‘Innovation is the primary driver of technological growth and drives higher living standards…. and brings about economic growth, we propose a larger, more effective innovation system, closely aligned with firms’ The National Development Plan, 2012 A Country Vision: 2030 National Treasury has indicated that it expects the economy to expand 0.9% in 2016/17, which is down 0.8 percentage points from a previous estimate. This is due to a moderation in Chinese demand and low commodity prices on the global market. National Budget 2016/17 : Economic Outlook Chapter 2

NATIONAL POLICIES Technology Innovation Agency11 TIA Strategic Plan FY15/20 National Developmen t Plan 2030 Industrial Policy Action Plan 2 New Growth Path DST Priorities Government Nine Point Plan

The President during 2016 State of the Nation Address highlighted that: “…We continue to promote innovation within the Nine Point Plan programme… “ The Nine-Point Plan has three types of interventions – job drivers, enablers and cost-cutting interventions, have been designed to work in collaboration to revitalise economic activity. GOVERNMENT NINE POINT PLAN Technology Innovation Agency 12

TIA in its strategic positioning has structured all the programs to address the identified priority areas in a bid to propel innovation products as a key growth translator. It is envisaged that the development and commercialisation of localised technologies by TIA in the implementation of the Nine Point Plan would lead to : -improved productivity -an increase in core industry competitiveness and -encourage the development of Small Micro to Medium Scale Enterprises involved in technology.
