Innovation Campus
A world-class innovation hub and learning centre.
Once completed, the Innovation Campus delivers research, innovation, collaboration, learning opportunities and skills development that will serve both local and global industry needs.
The purpose of the Innovation Centre is to contribute to the creation of the sustainable and competitive environment we are creating within Freeport Saldanha. It will aim to achieve this through:
- Facilitating and stimulating collaboration between industry, academia, government, and the local community. Incorporating a combination of specialised training from universities, private sector investment, public sector support, as well as both international and domestic industry expertise.
- The centre will also provide support for entrepreneurs as they progress through incubation and acceleration programmes. Providing access to sources of capital funding for ongoing development and commercialisation.
- The establishment of training and education programmes. Developing specialised and lacking industry skills.
- Supporting the development of innovative technologies for application in the OG&M industry.
A feasibility study was carried out in January 2019, which has built a business model canvas and has provided a roadmap to the future state of the innovation centre, with suggested timeline and phases for implementation already available.
