Technology support services
We believe that InnoVenton/DCTS, in collaboration with key strategic partners such as Tshumisano, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ), other Universities and SME Development/Support groups such as ChemCity, can add significant technology related value to both small and larger industries in South Africa in the light of the expertise and capabilities residing within InnoVenton/DCTS, as well as expertise and capabilities that can be accessed through a wide range of strategic partnerships.
InnoVenton/DCTS has committed itself to develop a specific focus to provide such support to SME’s thereby contributing significantly to (a) Government strategies to revitalize the South African Chemical Industry by 2014, and (b) growth of opportunities for InnoVenton/DCTS and the NMMU in establishing long term partnerships.

- Product replacement
