According to the review panel the CSIR’s core competencies reside in materials, manufacturing and information technologies. In addition, CSIR has acquired outstanding skills in the management of projects within and across the divisions. CSIR has shown a real commitment to transformation and the adoption of national priorities. In short, CSIR is a true national asset.”

Recommendations therefore (June 1998) (cont.)Recommendations therefore (June 1998) (cont.)
Challenges which remain include, inter alia:
to move to the cutting edge in the strategic technologies of the future, in particular information technology, biotechnology and advanced manufacturing
developing new mechanisms to promote the transfer of technologies from CSIR to the appropriate industrial sectors (e.g. holding of equity by CSIR in operating companies based on CSIR technologies, or the application of venture capital instruments)
continuing the cultivation of a comprehensive market-orientated culture
developing a comprehensive set of international alliances placing more emphasis on long-term strategic research than it
currently does, with close collaboration with industry to set the goals in this respect, together with close collaboration with the tertiary education sector
