Ms. Monyatsi: Thank you for having me.
Rati: Can you start by giving us an overview of the Levy Technical Device Fund and its primary objectives?
Ms. Monyatsi: Certainly. The Levy Technical Device Fund is an initiative by CIPA aimed at supporting the acquisition of technical devices that enhance the operations and capabilities of businesses, particularly SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises). The primary objective is to promote technological advancement and innovation within the business community, ensuring that local businesses remain competitive in an increasingly digital global market.
Rati: That sounds like a significant step forward. Can you tell us about the recent updates or changes to the fund?
Ms. Monyatsi: Absolutely. One of the key updates is the increase in the funding limit. Previously, businesses could apply for up to BWP 50,000 in support, but we have now raised this limit to BWP 100,000. This change is aimed at accommodating larger-scale projects and more advanced technological needs.
Rati: That’s a substantial increase. What has prompted this decision?
Ms. Monyatsi: We’ve seen a growing demand for more sophisticated technology among local businesses. As they scale up and face more complex challenges, the need for advanced devices and systems has become more apparent. The increase in funding is a response to these evolving needs, ensuring that businesses have the resources to invest in cutting-edge technology.
Rati: How can businesses apply for this fund, and what are the eligibility criteria?
Ms. Monyatsi: The application process is quite straightforward. Businesses need to submit a detailed proposal outlining their technological needs and how the fund will be used to address these needs. The proposal should include a budget breakdown and expected outcomes. As for eligibility, applicants must be registered with CIPA and demonstrate a clear need for the technical device in question. Priority is given to businesses that can show potential for significant impact and innovation.
Rati: Are there any success stories or examples of businesses that have benefited from the Levy Technical Device Fund?
Ms. Monyatsi: Yes, there are several success stories. For instance, a local agribusiness recently used the fund to purchase advanced irrigation systems, which significantly increased their yield and efficiency. Another example is a tech startup that acquired high-performance servers to support their growing client base, enabling them to scale their operations and offer better services.
Rati: It’s great to hear such positive outcomes. What are the future plans for the Levy Technical Device Fund?
Ms. Monyatsi: We plan to continue expanding the fund and exploring partnerships with other organizations to provide even more comprehensive support. Additionally, we are looking into offering training and advisory services to help businesses make the most of their technological investments.
