Uses of South Africa's innovation data: media briefing and knowledge-sharing webinar for journalists, industry association leaders, and business analysts

Abstract

Outside of public policy uses, South Africa's innovation data are a unique and publicly available source of intelligence for leaders of industry associations, journalists, and business analysts. Depending on the type of analysis performed, new insights into the South African business environment can be generated using innovation data. Challenging common-sense perceptions of innovation, by using national innovation data, is important to developing more robust internal or public conversations.
