DST announces plan to improve technology base in local foundries
The Minister of Science and Technology, Mrs Naledi Pandor, has launched a R26 million programme to boost the technology base in 28 companies that manufacture castings in South Africa.
Launched at the Council
for Scientific and Industrial Research in Pretoria on 1 March 2010,
the Technology Localisation Programme of the Department of Science
and Technology (DST) supports the Government's Competitive Supplier
Development Programme (CSDP), which is aimed at increasing the
competitiveness of local suppliers through a range of demand and
supply-side measures. This will assist local companies to leverage
procurement opportunities from government's large-scale
infrastructure recapitalisation programme over the next 20 years.
