• Target – business and industry (other interventions specifically designed to focus on job creation)
• Part of National SME strategy: strengthening the economy by increasing the number of strong, export oriented small & medium sized enterprises
• Strong integration with other government instruments in the SME field, eg DTI programmes and good partnering so far with industry
• Challenges on the technology front relate to capacity of exporting firms to meet high technical standards – not “rocket science” just existing technologies and competencies that need to be put to work to enable SA businesses to participate on sophisticated global markets. Technical standards could be health, safety or product quality related.
• Opportunities exist for new businesses for products and service not yet locally produced or where there are still untapped markets or where our raw materials are being beneficiated abroad and we are importing the products back at high cost because of the extent of the “foreign” value-add.

To be the first choice providers of the technology and business needs of SMMEâs in the chemical industry
Technology Transfer by the station was as follows: The project team formulated a cleaning gel and a shower gel on a small glass beaker scale. The products formulated on an analytical scale were then tested for pH, viscosity, appearance and odor compatibility. Then the same products were manufactured on a large scale in the clients manufacturing vessel. The products manufactured on a large scale were also tested for pH, Viscosity, appearance and odor compatibility.

PRODUCTS.
Sta Soft BottleThe customer wanted a drip free bottle. This meant a total design change on the cap and neck of the existing mould. A concave shape of the cap was designed on the SLS.
Knife SharpenerAluminum casting was made of the housing. The final products will be manufactured at the Technikon and the customer will sell it.
A very rough idea was taken and redesigned to be able to reproduce this device in large quantities. The original design was a plate bended and welded casing in which a diamond belt run over 3 pulleys. The pulleys was driven by means of a ordinary bench grinder.
