We all know South Africa has problems; we read about them in the newspapers, we see them on the streets and many people experience them in their daily lives. Fortunately, many of these problems can be solved using innovation and science. Innovation takes a look at inventions - developed in South Africa by South Africans - to address issues in the areas of healthcare, energy, environment and industry. Some of these inventions, such as a tea bag created to filter water for communities in rural areas, can save lives; others, such as a unique way to beneficiate titanium, could spell a new era of industry in the country.The book is broken down into sections on environment, health, energy, industry and education, and in each of those parts are examples of South African innovations, from a satellite system to map fires to the concept of sterilising mosquitoes to stop the spread of malaria.These have been developed by numerous organisations and institutions and showcase South Africa's excellence.

Rochelle Coetsee Silicon Valley and Wall Street love these digital businesses because they have upended industries and altered the way things are done within them. The businesses from back then did not have the technology as back then an example is such as Eskom, the way the businesses run a few years ago is not the same as today.
