BRIEF HISTORY

Timbali Technology Incubator, is Section 21 company, based in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga, South Africa. The Incubator is funded by STP (SEDA Technology Program) which facilitates the development of Business Technology Incubators in South Africa

The Timbali Technology Incubator (TTI) was established in 2003 with the aim of injecting start-up entrepreneurs into the mainstream economy by overcoming the technical, marketing, financing and skills barriers.

The first incubatees started with production in January 2004 and in 2005 their numbers were increased to 30 incubatees.

 

In 2007 the incubation model was restructured to accommodate offsite incubatees and the first 24 farmers graduated from the incubator.  We started with cut-flowers and have diversified to include all horticulture products including foliage, fruit trees, ornamental crops, vegetables, etc.

 

TTI tips the balance in favour of the start-up SMMEs by unsing a Cluster-model to increase economy of scale and through a system-dependent business format, the SMMEs consistently deliver a predictable, quality product/service resulting in significant economic benefits. 

 

Timbali provides an enabling environment that provides the start-up businesses with the opportunity to grow into independent competitive enterprises.  This is achieved through training, mentorship, technology packaging, business skills and technical development, financing and marketing

 

The Timbali Technology Incubator is a powerful vehicle to bring about economic change where it really matters.

AIM

Timbali Technology Incubator focuses on injecting start-up farmers in the mainstream economy. The Incubator assists agri-businesses in overcoming technology, market, financing and skills barriers. Hereby, an enabling environment is created that provides the first steps in the journey of the emerging farmer to global competitiveness.

HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT?

Timbali uses the Cluster-model to tip the balance in favour of the small scale farmer through the benefits of economy of scale 

Timbali developed a system- dependable, “franchisable” Prototype Business Format to allow SMMEs to consistently deliver a quality service or product to the market.

Timbali facilitates SMME development within the enabling franchise environment by coordinating, communicating and standardizing of systems in a replicable way that would even accommodate individuals with a basic level of skills.
