Van der Merwe, Derrick Louis Nanotechnology south africa UCTD Dissertation (MEng)--University of Pretoria, 2010. The study of the nanotechnology system in South Africa is an analysis of the South African nanotechnology innovation system, with a discussion of background information regarding nanotechnology awareness, involvement, funding, personnel, education, networking and equipment, and illustration of the level of nanotechnology activities for each product life cycle and per institution. The document contains a classification of nanotechnology industries regarding time to market, market potential, disruptiveness and complexity, identifies innovation hampers for the South African nanotechnology community and ranks nanotechnology national and international nanotechnology buyers, suppliers, competitors and relationships. Lastly, innovative strategies are formulated from information gathered on internal South African nanotechnology strengths and weaknesses, and external nanotechnology opportunities and threats.
