Some of the key objectives of the group are:
- To create a network of top local technology experts and service providers, spanning a variety of fields.
- To keep skills and employment opportunities in the region by investing time, effort and money into the local community through training and skills development.
- To perform collaborative marketing with the intention of penetrating new markets.
- To present expertise as a unified body during the bid for large contracts.
- To provide project management and quality control services during the full lifecycle of large and complex projects.
- To define, enable, and manage key technology growth areas in the region.
The Consortium has a strong focus on Research and Development (R&D), with several innovations currently in the works. These includes projects like fridge magnets that will show the current water level in your rain tank, a stock theft project that tracks animal and vehicle movements on farms in real time and alerts the farmers the moment the animal’s movements indicates distress, as well as a project to track hikers in remote mountain hiking trails.
