The City of Tshwane (CoT) has announced its strategic partnership with Unisa in the upcoming Innovation Festival 2024. The City’s innovation team will host an innovation workshop on 28 November 2024 in the Bamboo Auditorium, Kgorong Building, Muckleneuk Campus.

This workshop is another important aspect of the Innovation Festival, as it promises to attract various innovation thought leaders from across the innovation landscape in South Africa. 

With the city’s slogan of ‘Igniting Excellence’, the innovation workshop complements a pool of strategic dialogue platforms where attendees will engage on the Tshwane’s 2023-2027 innovation strategy and associated interventions, implementation progress update, and their force in improving service delivery.

The engagement is meant to get a better insight from participants on how the City of Tshwane can best execute its innovation programme for service delivery impact. In addition, the nuggets from the workshop will direct discussions during the city’s innovation strategy review in early 2025.

The following four areas will be covered:

  • The 2024 Municipal Innovation Maturity Index results
  • Funding and commercialisation of innovation in government and legislative bottlenecks
  • Rewards and recognition for innovation in the public sector versus the private sector
  • Tshwane Innovation Unit Strategy and 2024/25 operational plan
