The Technology Innovation Agency (TIA) has launched the Youth Technology Innovation Fund (YTIF), to give young innovators an opportunity to be the future drivers of South Africa's knowledge economy.

TIA GM of special projects Margaret Mkhosi, notes that, “It is widely accepted, in all areas of industry, that technology innovation is a prerequisite for continued success and sustainable growth and development.”

The fund will build pipeline projects for the TIA sectors and promote a culture of technology innovation among South Africa’s youth, among others.
