Marine Technology Development and Accreditation Programme
The AISI invites eligible companies to submit an Expression of Interest (EoI) for participation in the Marine Technology Development and Accreditation Programme. AISI is an initiative of the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition. The programme is hosted and managed by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research.
This EoI seeks to identify marine advanced manufacturing companies, including both SMMEs and non-SMMEs, for inclusion in AISI’s Marine Supplier Development Programme. The initiative provides financial and technical support aimed at enhancing capabilities, obtaining relevant accreditations, and facilitating integration into both local and global supply chains. This, in turn, improves competitiveness, productivity, and market access.
The programme enhances industry competitiveness through the following key interventions:
- Standards and accreditation support
- Technology enhancement
