Update: Bio-economy Strategy
Presentation to the
Portfolio Committee 27 May 2015
Outline
•The Bio-economy Strategy
Definition; Systems approach; Metrics;
Opportunity; Challenges; & Governance
•Actions and activities:
Agriculture
Health Innovation
Industry & Environment
IKS-based Technology Innovation
Defining the Bio-economy
Refers to activities that make use of bio-innovations,
based on biological sources, materials and processes
to generate sustainable economic social and
environmental development.
In consultation with relevant stakeholders, the DST
“has identified 3 key economic sectors – agriculture,
health and industry – as being the most in need of, and
likely to benefit from key levers to drive the
implementation of the [strategy]”
Agriculture
Health
Industry & Environment

So what is new in
the Bio-economy
strategy?
(a) Coordinated, specific
(b) Focused Value Chain
(c) System enablers

SYSTEMS APPROACH
•
•
•
Coordination: awareness, national objectives,
teamwork and cooperation/collaboration
Strategic programmes to provide emphasis in
priority areas
System support initiatives (HCD, service platforms,
IP management, entrepreneur training, pilot scale
facilities; Clinical trialing resources, etc)
Coordinating committees
National use of MRC, ARC, CSIR expertise
Techno-feasibility assessments

Opportunity of Bio-innovation
√
√
√
√
√
•In 2014 South Africa’s GDP was R3,8 trillion.
•Top 7 DST investee biotech co’s R1 billion turnover.
•Need to benchmark current bio-economy (NACI)
•US & European bio-economies target 5-6% GDP by 2030
.
•If SA to reach that, it would form approx R190 billion (today’s terms)
.
7
Challenges of Bio-innovation
• Most highly regulated scientific field(s) of endeavour.
• Most diversified applications (agric, health,
manufacturing, energy, environment, etc). High level
coordination is required.
• Applications for existing industry AND new industry
• Rapidly developing fields (knowledge, equipment,
applications).
• Some controversy (GE, stem cells & cloning).
• The days of single blockbusters are gone. Need for
sophistication, contextualisation, personalisation and
precision.
8
Measuring the Bio-economy
Currently developing a ‘metrics’ approach:
High Level Impacts:
1)
2)
3)
Sophistication of products
Exports of technology products
Unit value of exports
Outcomes per theme (economic, social, environmental)
•
Eg. Technologies localized; household with food security;
medicines developed; revenues generated
Outputs per theme (meeting objectives of themes)
•
Publications; technologies; patents; companies; products

nearly R1 billion (from a direct investment of R63million);
•Eucalyptus Genome project – already providing cost savings to industry;
•Xsit – already providing additional income to the citrus industry;
•Umbiflow – providing for better maternal healthcare;
•mTriage – better emergency care.
