Advancing Innovation Through Strategic Collaboration



The Eastern Cape Development Corporation (ECDC), in partnership with UNISA, successfully hosted a key engagement on 18 March 2025, advancing discussions on the establishment of the Fort Jackson Innovation Hub.


The session, which began at the Invest SA One Stop Shop, featured presentations from both the ECDC and UNISA’s DITTC teams, highlighting their contributions and shared vision for the project. Also in attendance were representatives from the Department of Economic Development, Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEDEAT) and Non-Automative Manufacturing Cluster (NAM Cluster). The session concluded with a site visit to the Fort Jackson Industrial Park, where attendees had the opportunity to see the progress already made through ECDC’s support.


This initiative aligns with UNISA’s broader goal of developing Innovation and Techno Hubs across the provinces, reinforcing a collective commitment to driving economic transformation and sustainable development in the Eastern Cape.


ECDC remains committed to fostering partnerships that unlock new opportunities for innovation, skills development, and industrial growth.
