                           with AIDC





                                 he  AIDC,  as  a  major  stakeholder  in  the  South  African  Automotive
                                 Industry,  is  an  enabler  of  effective  and  sustainable  socio-economic
                           T growth.  The  AIDC  has  specific  incubation  programmers  and  models
                           in  the  automotive  industry.  The  SARChI  FTMT  research  Chair  has
                           engaged  the  AIDC  to  collaborate  in  localisation  and  incubation  activities.

                           This effort is aligned with the aspirational vision to increase the local content of
                           automotive components from 39% (as of 2018) to 60% by 2035.
