innovation goes viral - catch it for growth!

proudly sponsored by:

he frailty of the global economy in the wake of the recession has made innovation an imperative for corporates looking to withstand 21st century business challenges.

There is no doubt that the ability to innovate in general plays an important role in a country’s ability to sustain its global competitiveness.

A major lesson from the 2008/9 recession, as exemplified by some countries, notably those based in Asia, is that innovative countries and corporates that strategically prepare for the worst barely flinch in the face of adversity.

While South Africa is steadily earning recognition across the globe as home to some of the most innovative corporates, it’s perhaps fair to argue that its standing in the global innovation stakes isn’t a true reflection of gains and the depth of talent at the country’s disposal. For example, local research capability is what led to invention of the Lodox machine. Originally developed as a security tool to curb theft of diamonds, this machine has through further research and development evolved to become the world’s first full-body, low-dose, digital X-ray system. As the Industrial

Development Corporation (IDC), we are proud to be associated with Lodox Systems-the manufacturer of this product. The fact that we invested in Lodox Systems and own a significant stake in the company is proof of our commitment to innovation.

The ability to provide full-body X-ray images at an exceptional quality and minimal radiation in only 13 seconds is one of the unique features of this machine. Now in its 11th year of trading, a particular focus on the South African healthcare landscape has ensured that 13 institutions, such as Chris Hani Baragwanath and Charlotte Maxeke hospitals are able to provide a world-class level of trauma care to South Africans, often only associated with first world countries. Lodox speaks volumes of South Africa’s research and innovative capabilities.

As IDC chief executive, Geoffrey Qhena observes, “We acknowledge the cost challenges associated with innovation. Experience has taught us that technology businesses in the seed and start-up phases have historically found it difficult to access funding for development and commercialisation

of their technologies. In addition, there are not many funding entities prepared to invest large sums of money in unproven products. This and many other factors have impeded innovation locally.”

Therefore emerging economies including South Africa have to continue making strategic choices regarding investing in enabling infrastructure and technologies that are able to fast-track socio-economic development and improve our country’s competitiveness.

As the institution whose mandate it is to provide funding to both startups and established business, IDC is taking on a more focused role with regards to innovation; that of advancing South Africa’s innovation standing and breeding 21st century entrepreneurs that better understand the need to embrace both technology and innovation.

For that to happen, the corporation acknowledges the need to be innovative, hence the creation of an internal Innovation department.

The innovation department works on internal innovations and also collaborates with external stakeholders through open innovation aimed at identifying value-adding ideas from IDC and its broader

stakeholders.

Launching an online platform that enables entrepreneurs to monitor progress regarding their application for funding and an initiative to improve turn-around times that have significantly reduced the waiting period for applicants to receive funding are just two innovations adopted internally to improve service delivery to clients.

Furthermore, in support of its strategy to push innovation adoption particularly among entrepreneurs, the IDC established a strategic business unit (SBU) in 2007 called Venture Capital.

Since inception, the IDC Venture Capital SBU has invested in excess of R600m in 32 new technology focused start-up companies. In addition, the corporation also manages the Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI) Support Program for Industrial Innovation, which disburses funding of between R60m and R80m annually.

As the IDC, we are committed to innovation. We strongly believe that South Africa and Africa at large is ready to claim its place in the global innovation arena.

W

e proudly present the 6th Southern Africa Innovation Summit, which has developed into a major event on the calendar throughout its six years of existence, attracting thought leaders, innovators as well as individuals and organisations that share a common interest, this interest being innovation.

The need for innovation in a developing country is enormous, yet it seems to have fallen short on the list of priorities. We want to change this, and as part of the Innovation Summit, we strive to create and sustain a platform that encourages innovation throughout South Africa.

We believe that if a platform exists, innovation will happen. The platforms which we speak of include our ever-evolving and inventive competitions aimed at facilitating and enabling innovation in even the most rural part of South Africa.

Firstly, the exciting Inventor’s Garage competition, which is sponsored by Eskom, was initiated to provide any person with an invention to showcase it via the Summit website, which allows everyone, including the general public, to vote for their favourite invention. Cash prizes for the winners make this a very attractive platform for those seeking recognition and further commercialisation of their invention.

Secondly, the Sasol Pitching Den, which is sponsored by Sasol ChemCity, provides inventors with an opportunity to pitch their unique idea, product or business before a panel of judges, with the eventuality being potential funding and incubation, thereby providing them with a pathway to take their idea, product or business to the next level. Lessons learned from these platforms will be used to streamline the process moving forward.

Our speaker line-up is, as always, very impressive and will not disappoint. We are honoured to have 30 speakers grace our event with their knowledge, expertise and fascinating tales of success in innovation. These speakers, both nationally and internationally known thought leaders, are the highlight of the SA Innovation Summit.

It has been an amazing journey for the Innovation Summit team over the past six years. We have enjoyed incredible challenges and have been privileged to be part of this legacy. We are also thankful to YOU, the INNOVATOR, the INVENTOR, for making this event HAPPEN! Finally, to our partners who have been with us every step of the way, A HUGE THANK YOU! Without you, this would not be possible. the 6th sa innovation summit

Video Streaming

#innovationSA

This year we have taken video streaming to a new level. We have invited all universities and universities of technology throughout South Africa to participate in the Innovation Summit by streaming the Summit live at each institution. This will give students the opportunity to benefit directly from the conference without having to physically attend.

We are also streaming the Summit into 8 African universities using this to help drive innovation throughout Africa.

Many of our Partners will be streaming the Innovation Summit to their staff members and clients really spreading the value deep into their cores.

We hope to stream The Innovation Summit to a million people to truly make “Innovation go viral�.

Accredited Programme Professor Annelie Jordaan, CEO of the South African Technology and Training Platform (SATTP), a non-profit organisation to promote Technology and Innovation at universities in Africa, will be managing the academic conference stream at the SA Innovation Summit 2013. This conference stream will offer two main benefits for engineers, architects and academics in that Conference Proceedings will be submitted: 1) for Validation at registered Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) Voluntary Associations (e.g. SAICE, SAAMA, CESA) and the Council of Engineering and the Built Environment (CBE) Voluntary Associations (e.g. SACAP, SACPC, SACPV); and 2) for accreditation at the SA Department of Higher Education and Training (DoHET).

Validation at ECSA and CBE will provide the opportunity for engineers and architects to claim points for Continuous Professional Development (CPD) to renew their professional registration at these accredited bodies.

Accreditation at DoHET will enable academics to submit their articles for university subsidy to fund their research activities.

Both validation and accreditation take place on an annual basis.

Pitching Den

#innovationSA

All entrepreneurs, researchers, inventors, incubators and innovators across all industries pitch their ideas to a well-rounded panel of judges. The idea / invention / product is owned by the party participating in the Pitching Den.

Pitching allows entrepreneurs to: • Showcase their technologies / ideas to a wider audience • Obtain access to funds • Tap into different markets • Connect with incubators that support specific types of innovative ideas • Access to technical expertise (advisors, IP specialists & venture capitalists) • Access other types of business support

Also: • Win a trademark or patent search from Spoor and Fisher • Win a share of R100,000 cash prizes

Pitches are based on: • Whether the innovation or pitch is demonstrable either as a working prototype or as a product or solution ready to commercialise • A good financial plan • Novelty and social impact • Whether the ideas are scalable and have the potential for job creation • Whether the ideas address a clear market need and target market • Whether the idea is commercially and technically viable • Potential for IP

Tshwane, the African Capital City of Excellence

Tshwane is the capital city of South Africa and the seat of administrative government. It has grown into a metropolis that encapsulates our rainbow nation where people of all It is the single largest metropolitan municipality in South Africa and the first largest in Africa with 105 wards, 210 councillors and about 2,9 million residents.

Tshwane is now also the third-largest city in the world in terms of land area, after New York and Tokyo/Yokohama and accommodates more than 100 embassies, trade delegations, consulates

and non-government organisations, which give it a cosmopolitan flavour.

The main economic sectors in the Municipality’s area are community service followed by finance and manufacturing. The largest sub-sector within manufacturing is metal products, machinery in metal products, machinery and household appliances, followed by the manufacturing of transport equipment.

Tshwane is a "smart city" – a leader in education, research and technology, electronics and information technology as well as defence design and construction. The City is home to the country's first science park – the Innovation Hub, which promotes innovation in high-tech enterprises, and forms part of a public-private partnership initiative of the Gauteng Provincial Government known as Blue IQ. It is home to two major internationally recognised tertiary institutions: the University of Pretoria and the University of South Africa (UNISA), the largest correspondence university in the world.

Tshwane is home to a long list of research and development institutions, including Armscor, the Medical Research Council, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) and a number of universities. These centres support Tshwane’s claims of being the research centre of the country.

It has the following tourism attractions: • Freedom Park • National Zoological Gardens of South Africa • Union Buildings • Pretoria Art Museum • Voortrekker Monument • Tswaing Meteorite Crater • Sizanani Cultural Village • Ezemvelo Nature Reserve • Dinokeng Game Reserve

Inventors Garage

#innovationSA Brought to you and hosted by the City of Tshwane The City of Tshwane (CoT), in partnership with the 6th SA Innovation Summit is hosting the Inventors Garage in endeavour to ignite excellence through inventions that can be further developed and implemented to enhance the quality of life for its citizens.

TEN

The ten best competition entries will be displayed in the Sparklab exhibition area during the three days of the Summit, which attracts a wide range of people committed to taking innovation in South Africa to a higher and more sustainable level.

The judges, who comprise funders and incubators, are looking for entries that combine originality with practicality and realistic commercial potential.

Judging criteria: wow factor - originality - need - potential - practicality - creativity

...of your invention / discovery / design / creation / model / prototype.

PRIZES:

In addition to possibilities of business support, incubation, partnerships, venture capital etc.

First prize for the best innovation: R 25 000 cash!

Second prize for the best innovation: R 10 000 cash!

Third Prize for the best invention: R 5 000 cash!

Special prizes for the best mobile applications! Most votes on the SA Innovation Summit website prize: R 5 000 cash!

SPARKLAB An exhibition area that caters for: • Transfer offices.

• Inventor-showcase opportunities.

• Prototype display.

• Interactive technology matching.

• Company and country-specific focus areas.

• Pause space for networking and innovation players

True innovation arises as a response to challenge situations and socio economic contexts. Seldom can innovation be neatly captured and presented through white papers and presentation sessions. The Sparklab offers an antidote to the ‘white paper paradigm’, by creating rare experiential insights into the activities of innovators, as they occur.

A key function of the Sparklab design is the facilitation of enterprise matchmaking. The Sparklab has been structured to bring entrepreneurs together with technology providers, funders and government agencies.

The Sparklab’s innovation architecture will showcase the possibilities of sustainable design, as well as the experience and ideas of all participants.

The Sparklab is an organic innovation experience that encapsulates the activities, ambitions and business approaches of South Africa’s foremost thought leaders and innovation drivers. From arts to the sciences and everywhere in between, the Sparklab allows people to get their heads right under the bonnets of innovation engines.

The single idea behind the Sparklab is a quest to allow innovation role players at all levels to share their experience, challenges and insights.

Be Competitively Unpredictable!

Make it happen with innovation Competitively unpredictable: two words that spell the key to success in today’s fast paced, highly competitive business arena. If your company has the ability to consistently outmaneuver the competition in ways they never see coming, then the future is bright.

Why is being competitively unpredictable so essential now? One key reason is the ever-shrinking window of opportunity.

In the past decades, depending on your industry, you could count on having three or five or even seven years after bringing something new to market to make good money before you needed to come up with the next new thing to keep revenues growing.

This is no longer the case. While the pace of innovation used to be fast but still manageable, now the window of opportunity is getting shorter and moving faster so you’re forced to innovate ever

faster. One of the best examples is the mobile phone industry where they are now counting in months.

Open innovation and business model innovation are key concepts for becoming competitively unpredictable and in this session Stefan Lindegaard shares his views on how companies can embrace these concepts in order to bring better innovation to market faster.

Specifically, he will provide: • an overview of the current state of innovation and what the future will bring us • examples on how leading-edge companies merge open innovation and business model innovation • insights on why companies must embrace failure for better innovation • insights on how companies can use social media for their innovation efforts

Innovation to the Core: Building a Sustainable Enterprise Capability Innovation is now recognised globally as the core driver of growth, strategic renewal and long-term business performance. Corporate leaders everywhere might acknowledge this fact, but in most organisations innovation is still more rhetoric than reality – more buzzword than core competence. Indeed, making innovation a deep, sustainable capability remains one of the great leadership challenges of our times.

What today’s senior executives need is a blueprint for building and sustaining a corporate innovation system that actually works. Based on the cutting-edge innovation processes and practices described in his groundbreaking bestseller “Innovation to the Core”, Rowan Gibson will explain exactly how to turn enterprise-wide innovation into a reality.

His argument is that for innovation to really work, and to be sustainable, it has to become a systemic and widely distributed capability—it has to be woven into the everyday fabric of the company just like

any other organisational capability, such as quality, or supply chain management, or customer service.

Achieving innovation excellence requires that companies address four specific organisational components that need to be integrated as a system in order for innovationto become fully institutionalised: 1. LEADERSHIP AND STRUCTURE – highly committed leaders and an organisational structure that drives and supports innovation 2. PROCESSES AND TOOLS – systematic approach and enabling tools to enable idea generation and pipeline management 3. PEOPLE AND SKILLS – disciplined approach to building innovation capabilities and maximising engagement across the organisation 4. CULTURE AND VALUES – collaborative, open culture that encourages and rewards“all-the-time , everywhere” innovation

COMPANIES AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COMMISSION

T

he newly formed Companies and Intellectual Property Commission CIPC was established under Section 185(1) of the Companies Act of 2008 through amalgamation of the Companies and Intellectual Property Registration Office (CIPRO) and the Office of Companies and Intellectual Property Enforcement (OCIPE). CIPC opened its doors on 1st May 2011.

CIPC Main Functions: • • • •

Registration of Companies, External Companies and Co-operatives Registration of Intellectual Property Rights: Patents, Designs, Trade Marks and Copyright in Cinematograph Films Maintenance of the National Registers of Companies and Intellectual Property Rights Efficient and Effective Enforcement of all relevant legislation

One of the key broader government economic growth strategies, as articulated particularly in both the 10 year Innovation Strategy and the New Growth Path, is that South Africa is moving towards a knowledge economy: converting innovations (intellectual property) into commercially viable businesses which translate into economic growth. CIPC plays a key role in creating a conducive environment that will enable the realisation of those goals, particularly by protection of intellectual property rights through registration.

CIPC is preparing to launch within the next few months an IP Trade Portal intended to be a marketplace where buyers and sellers of intellectual property are introduced to each other. On this portal the customers can find intellectual property that is offered for purchase or licensing. They can also advertise their own intellectual property for sale, licensing or franchising. The portal will be also extended to ideas and innovations that are not patented. Such ideas (e.g. business concept) can be negotiated for commercialization between buyers and sellers.

The CIPC IP Trade Portal supports the following objectives of CIPC: • •

To promote innovation and creativity and competitive local industries To promote the protection and commercial exploitation of innovations in key sectors.

Achieving the extraordinary with ordinary people We all know the classic story of the tortoise and the hare. “There are kids in school who are smarter than you in some ways. But always remember the story of the tortoise and the hare. There are kids who are faster learners than you. But that does not mean they are ahead of you.

If you will study at your own pace and keep on learning, you will pass people who learn quickly but then stop learning.

Just because a child has good grades in school does not mean that child will do well in life”.

Due to the uncertain future and the demands that comes with this territory, creative thinking has become more important than ever before. At the simplest level “creative” means bringing into being something that was not there before. One of the main purposes for the use of creative thinking is to find better ways of doing things. Although it is now beginning to do a little bit about the direct

teaching of thinking as a skill, education does very little indeed about teaching creative thinking.

There is the assumption that creativity belongs in the “art” world and is a matter for talent. This view is so old-fashioned as to be medieval. There is a growing group of individuals in all areas who have come to realise that the future needs better thinking and the part of this better thinking is going to demand creativity. biography - Microbiologist and water expert Prof Cloete is the Vice-Rector: Research and Innovation at Stellenbosch University.

Why being an expert is dangerous for innovation - and what you can do about it We might think that experts are in the best position to come up with and assess different solutions to the problems in their environment. After all, that’s where their expertise lies. In fact, the opposite is often true. When it comes to identifying new ways of doing things, experts often have huge blind-spots and are far worse than other people.

In this talk, we examine why this is the case, and why break-through ideas are often found by non-experts. We explore how this hampers innovation within organizations. And we put forward a solution – to help managers and employees avoid these blind-spots, and drive real innovation within the business.

BIOGRAPHY - Gavin Symanowitz, an actuary, headed up Strategic Product Innovation for Investments at First National Bank for over five years.

A City-wide Test of a Crowdsourcing Transit Platform using ‘Superfans’ as Beta-testers A constant source of frustration amongst South African commuters is the inability to be certain of the timetables of public transport providers. With specific reference to the Metrorail at this stage, it was often the case that commuters were forced to leave home to head to work extra early so as not to be late, or to leave work early to be able to run errands and/ or collect their children on time due to unstable train schedules.

A small tech startup seized the opportunity, in collaboration with Metrorail, to combine the knowledge that most commuters carry at least wap-enabled cellphones with them while travelling, with the notion of having real-time information delivered straight to mobile devices and created GoMetro - an innovation that allows commuters to access train timetables and real-time schedule changes from their cellphones.

Launched 6 months ago, this platform

has grown, now processing more than 600 000 requests per month through the mobile web app.

The latest step in a multiphase launch process is the launch of GoMetro v2.0, a crowdsourced “Twitter for Trains”. This presentation reports on a closed beta test of the GoMetro v2.0 application (app), where 75 loyal users of GoMetro in the Western Cape are not only able to create profiles with personalised preferences and have access to entertainment while commuting, but also to create networks amongst themselves to share real-time experiences and shape the app through constant feedback and interaction, whilst forming the core component of and partdesigning the app themselves.

Innovation underpins Siemens work in energy, healthcare, industry and urban development. siemens.com /innovation Siemens is a global integrated technology company that develops products and solutions in key sectors such as energy, healthcare, industry, as well as infrastructure and urban development. It is one of the world’s largest providers of green technologies.

Siemens South Africa chief executive Siegmar Proebstl says: “Innovation lies at the heart of our business worldwide and has driven our work in South Africa and on the African continent for over 150 years.

“It is an exciting development for Siemens South Africa to be involved in this 6th SA Innovation Summit, an annual event we have watched with keen interest for some time.

“Innovation leading to the development of new products and services across a range of different industries is exactly what our country and our continent needs. Forums such as this Summit are critical to inspire, inform, encourage and empower people in processing and developing their ideas into meaningful products and services that improve life and enhance business efficiency.”

Profiling journalists who tell new innovation stories “However, what many of us may not realise is the crucial role the media plays in writing and telling stories about new innovations in ways that ordinary people can understand.

“This is why we have linked our annual pan-African Profile Awards programme to this important event this year.”

The Profile Awards programme has nurtured and developed quality science and technology reporting in South Africa and on the African continent for the past eleven years. Sponsored by the electrical engineering and electronics conglomerate, Siemens, with the support of the South African Department of Science and Technology, the Profile Awards competition is the premium science and technology journalism awards in Africa.

South Africa’s Science and Technology Minister Derek Hanekom says that journalists and the media play an important role in communicating science, technology and innovation in ways that ordinary South Africans can understand and appreciate. “They help to share our national science and technology knowledge and build understanding in government, business and among the public.”

“Journalists who write about science, engineering and technology in ways that excite, engage and inform ordinary people should be recognised and rewarded. More and more journalists from across Africa are working hard to provide a better understanding of the increasingly scientific and technological environments in which their readers and viewers live, work and play,” concludes Siemens South Africa chief executive Siegmar Proebstl.

Multi-layered partnerships: creating win-win value propositions for competitive advantage Partnerships can make or break a company. With increasing levels of competitiveness, getting various roleplayers together to create distinctive products and services, is becoming a critical success factor for many new and established companies. Partnerships bring together the “who” and the “what” you know. It takes a comprehensive stance on innovation to identify what you (as company director) do not know, what kind of knowledge you seek to incorporate as part of your core-offering, and who exactly you can engage as a potential partner to fill the identified gap.

Not only does it (i.e. finding suitable strategic partners) require an extensive network of specialists, but also a clear vision and strategy of where your company is heading. It can animate your business plan, reduce your expenses and time-to-market, meet customer needs more efficiently, as well as improve

brand credibility and gravitas. Building and unlocking your networks is the key to enable multi-layered partnerships that will benefit your company.

The pace of change in the world is occurring faster and faster. Technology provides us with the opportunity to expand our networks and gain up-todate information on just about anything and everything. However, it can also cause information overload/fatigue and shallow network-interaction (due to a numbers game) if not managed and nurtured with awareness. Such a scenario can outdo the potential of harnessing partnership opportunities to create mutually beneficial relationships and value propositions.

This presentation takes a practical look at the benefits of partnerships, and how to create optimal collaborations for the advancement of companies and causes.

Shift in Marketing & Design of Research and Technology Parks as Hubs for Innovation The traditional science & technology park (or R&D park), as we know it today has provided the space for research and technology development. These parks typically include physical laboratory building space and an environment that protects intellectual property (IP).

The traditional park model is still important for the core individual offices and R&D facilities, but the emphasis is shifting now to create more of a sense of community for networking purposes, through town centres, commercial areas, and natural amenity spaces.

There is a shift towards more open innovation platforms and coordinated approaches, which translate into a somewhat different model for development focusing on mixed-use centres to complement the highly successful science and technology park model.

Stealth Thinking in Business Strategy Development The workshop will start by challenging the audience to think about their organisations and where it is currently positioned in their industry/sandbox.

This challenge will be positioned from a competitive perspective to ascertain if the game being played is leading to adequate or supremacy strategies.

We will then allow for the delegates to discuss a selected industry, and how a stealth competitor could enter it by introducing a game changing business model.

BIOGRAPHY - Greg Carolin, Managing Partner of DPI Africa has an MBA in Marketing and Business Strategy.

We will then frame the “Stealth Competitor” that one needs to consider as an option for future strategy and how this competitor goes about changing the game in the industry/sandbox.

He has been consulting to organisations for over 13 years across industries and business of all sizes including projects where the “Stealth Competitor” has been part of the process.

We will then highlight some known examples both internationally and locally of “Stealth” competitive moves and give stories and case studies of how this process has been applied by DPI’s clients worldwide to change the game and create competitive supremacy.

One of his career highlights was successfully leading a series of strategy projects to assisting with the merger between Momentum Group and Metropolitan Holdings. Greg has also co-authored a book entitled “Leadership Pure and Simple”.

The implementation of the new R&D income tax incentive – how are taxpayers placed currently? And what does every FD need to know?”

BIOGRAPHY - Darren commenced his professional career qualifying as a patent attorney, specialising in the drafting & prosecution of patent applications, and conducting patent searches. He also prepared opinions on novelty and infringement matters in the fields of patent, design and copyright law.

He soon found that his interest lay in the commercial aspects of intellectual property (“IP”), and he became involved in the drafting of commercial agreements having IP as basis (typically: licence agreements, supply and distribution agreements with IP as basis, assignment of copyright agreements, confidentiality agreements). Darren continued to immerse himself and practice in these areas when he joined Adams & Adams patent attorneys. Darren was then invited to join Deloitte and Touche, where he

was involved in the investigation and assessment of taxpayers’ technologies and activities, with an eye to maximising R&D income tax deductions, and opinion work related to the same. There, he also enjoyed acting as advisor both to the National Treasury – on issues of legislative drafting in the Income Tax Act – and to the SA Revenue Services and the Department of Science & Technology – on issues of interpretation of income tax legislation, and its practice. Darren also has a particular interest in the exchange control issues that arise in international transactions having IP as basis.

This privileged, rich background led Darren to found the specialist IP firm and tax consultancy, Margo™ Attorneys, Inc. where he and his team continue to practice in these specialised disciplines.

Gearing for Open Innovation Policy and Law in South Africa Open innovation at the organisational level is dependent on a public policy environment that supports crosscollaboration and integrated approaches to research and development.

Accordingly, countries looking to benefit from open innovation at the organisational level need to assess the policy and legal environment related to the ease of collaborative and integrated innovation methods.

This presentation will consider the suitability of South Africa’s policy and legal frameworks in connection with open data, open source, access to information, access to knowledge and learning materials, access to publicly funded innovation, converged communications and intellectual property – as a lens into to South Africa’s regulatory readiness for open innovation. The presentation will close with recommendations from best practices in other countries and regions.

This has been made possible through exposure to such programs as FabKids within FabLabs, using Hydrogen Fuel Cells as part of Destination Zero Carbon and through interacting with a larger community on MXit as a social medium, amongst others.

With 3 decades of teaching experience which was turned into a recent PhD he is keen to put his learning experiences in to developing future inventors.

�We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them�. albert Einstein the 6th sa innovation summit

Spin-offs from military R&D: three case studies South Africa devoted considerable expenditure on military R&D through to the early 1990s, giving rise to a number of sectoral systems of innovation.

This paper examines the telemetry system of innovation that emerged in two sites: one in the South, linked to the navy; the other in the North linked to the Army and Air Force. This sectoral system grew from considerable public investment into R&D. A number of case studies are used to show how this investment sponsored and triggered technology startups in telemetry and ICT that have gone on to become medium size companies with global footprints. This suggests that there is often a long-term pay-back to the public of investment in military R&D. The case studies also show the initial importance of mentorship and academic

research to the startup pioneers. As the companies mature they appear to shift their search for information toward the market and their own value chains. This autonomous behaviour accords with the international pattern revealed through CIS type innovation systems. The autonomy raises difficult questions for innovation policy makers. biography - Michael Kahn is an analyst in research and innovation policy. His specializations cover: • policy formulation, strategy and planning • process facilitation • measurement and evaluation He has worked in government, education and NGO sectors, and is Professor Extraordinaire at Stellenbosch University.

The Next Big Thing!

An important question arises when one thinks of youth development.

Are young people’s thoughts and behaviours shaped by media or is it that media merely exhibits the way young people of today think and behave; and consequently the leaders they will become? This is a question of much tension and controversy. Regardless of which theory one may subscribe to, media is the number one tool to gain the attention of and transmit information to young people. As such, media can play an important role in youth development and more especially society.

With majority of the population being the youth and with young people being the biggest consumers of media; the most affected by unemployment and HIV/Aids, we need to ask ourselves what messages does our media transcend to the youth daily. How can we work around the serial promotion of adultery, materialism, sex,

lust, violence, short-cuts, false religions, praise for “celebrities” as role models, of whom many have not achieved anything worthy of being truly “celebrated” - as the true meaning of the word celebrity implies – to be celebrated! What content should South African media seek to produce for the next generation of leaders whom are the thinkers and doers of today.

“When we use our brains, we can change our lives.

When we use our hearts, we can change the lives of others. When we use both, we can change the world.”
