Why a Science Park?

"I am convinced that The Innovation Hub has an important role in linking South Africa's innovative ability to the global innovation network. It is fulfilling a need in a previously underserved market sector for knowledge intensive companies to connect, explore synergies and leverage business development opportunities." Paul Mashatile, MEC for Economic Development, Gauteng Provincial Government

Science Parks act as a stimulus to economic growth. They create environments that sustain development, generate intellectual property, open up competitive new market sectors and support the commercialisation of technology to enhance global competitiveness.

As a Science Park, The Innovation Hub is fulfilling a key role in nurturing commercial and technological innovation to place the South African economy on a higher growth trajectory.

Science Park tenants have access to world-class services, space and facilities that contribute to their long-term growth and sustainability. The Know-How Network of knowledge and product partners and the Knowledge Centre, operated by the University of Pretoria, offer tenants an extensive range of essential business information sources, skills and services.
