Our Shaping the Future Innovation Platform® ensures a Lasting Legacy. Our Institute for Technology and Society was established as a Sustainable Development Project centre. We drive Strategic Initiatives to enable Innovation and provide direction for Global Competitiveness. This development strategy fuel and support organic blue ocean, shared value growth.

As part of our strategic initiatives, the community co-created Factory-as-a-Product (FaaP) is revolutionizing the way society will produce food, monetise energy, convert waste into resources and; collect – and treat water within the Circular Green Economy. These digital modules are integrated to breed Circular Economy SMME’s, Inventions and Pioneers. The FaaP modules will be continuously strengthened with the Innovation Platform’s Certified Technologies to ensure Repeatability, Scalability and Investability.

We work with a wide range of clients from entrepreneurial developments to companies with huge megaprojects. We adopt a holistic owners’ mind-set to efficiently transform ideas into profit. We develop Investment Proposals from identified synergy across value chains for different types of finance, grants and incentives. As a specialist technology and agriculture developer, we have partnered with a private equity company as our fund manager.

We rethink, repurpose and reposition non-core assets of corporates and municipalities with our exponential technologies and bankable business plans. This also reduce the financial liability and possible community problem risks for our partners. Our Institute converts these non-core assets into sound, sustainable enterprises with the following strategic activities along the development stages.

• Strategic Engagements – We drive initiatives with our partners to endorse, approve and qualify technologies for bankable social innovation projects.
• Strategic Implementation – We ensure financial close of scalable technology projects and facilitate investment decisions into our social enterprises.
• Strategic Sustainment – We own, develop and acquire exponential technologies to solve complex sustainability challenges.

Our Institute for Technology & Society commercialised research and development to create a positive, lasting legacy in communities. In order to achieve this, our Institute continuously engage with Corporates and Municipalities on different levels to unlock multiple layers of external funding:

• Advisory – Our comprehensive, institutional approach support sustainable development departments with the necessary expertise to co-design initiatives as a strategy for collective, impact investments.
• Resourcing – We drive these innovation projects with our professional combination of wise, mostly retired specialists and student interns to financial close. This unique team develop bankable proposals for external types of investments, grants and incentives.
• Platforms – Our activities provide opportunities for engagements to assess maturity, monitor progress of roadmap activities, facilitate technology transfer and share best practise in Social Innovation.
