The Industry Development and Technology Support Programme focuses on advancing the involvement of industry in sectors relating to advanced manufacturing in aeronautics, space and defence. Industry is encouraged to apply for funding to industrialise technologies to the advancement of South African niche capabilities and value propositions to support the following:
- Ensuring partnerships are established between organisations;
- Accessing national infrastructure and expertise;
- Accessing new and existing processes, products and methods to enter into the industry;
- Industrialising technologies from universities and other research institutions;
- Enhancing industry competitiveness by ensuring appropriate technology transfer interventions; and
- Integrators and Sub-Systems Suppliers are encouraged to include SMMEs as well as lower-tier suppliers, to ensure the continuous transfer of knowledge, expertise, capabilities and technologies, and in doing so, broadening the industry base.
The AISI realises that there is a need to support the local industry; therefore a Call for Proposals (CFP) is issued aimed at attracting projects that contribute towards the development of the SA aeronautics, space and defence industry, specifically focusing on:
- Supporting SMMEs and established industry in fostering new technologies; and
- Developing the local content and capability of South African entities.
