South African National Survey of Research and Experimental Development: boosting R&D funding in South Africa in the context of reindustrialisation: a compendium of analytical briefs

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Innovation can exert a lasting influence on economic development, with R&D as a key innovation activity with potentially disruptive effects. However, the specific aspect of R&D that enable such impact, and the mechanisms and circumstances under which it occurs, remain unclear. Give South Africa’s relatively low R&D performance and development the briefs explore those factors that could transform this situation. We utilise available data and draw from academic literature to provide insights and suggest a way forward.
