A far-reaching cooperation agreement was signed late last year, which forms the foundation of the partnership that will see Coega assisting the CSIR with the commercialisation and industrialisation of related intellectual property, while the CSIR will assist in the development of the Coega SEZ’s value proposition in knowledge intensive and advanced manufacturing sectors by becoming an official research and development (R&D) partner of the corporation.
According to the Group Executive for CSIR Advanced Chemistry and Life Sciences, Dr Rachel Chikwamba, “The CSIR views this partnership as a necessary doorway to industrialisation. It supports the realisation of the many years of CSIR investment in the natural fiber and composite materials and will further enable rapid commercialisation of other technologies across the CSIR.”

Joint media statement
Africa’s plans to build capacity to respond to future pandemics received a major boost as South Africa’s Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) received an investment worth $4 458 033.00 (around R80 million) from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to drive skills and health innovation.
The investment, which seeks to strengthen Africa’s biomanufacturing capability through a workforce training and skills development programme, is a significant milestone that will reduce the continent’s dependence on imported critical health products.
