South Africa is the powerhouse of Africa, the most advanced, broad-based economy on the continent, with infrastructure to match any first-world country.
South Africa has a respected and world-class science and technology community that, over many decades, has pioneered globally significant and successful new ideas, techniques and technologies.
These include the complex techniques to produce fuels and useful chemicals from raw coal, pioneering steel production, the extreme engineering and chemistry required to extract minerals from increasingly miserly reefs of the deepest mines in the world, and medical expertise that not only saw the country pioneering the world's first heart transplant, but makes South Africa-trained doctors in demand - and working - all over the world.
A list of bilateral cooperation agreements for all South Africa's country-to-country engagements in science and technology both in Africa and internationally.
