Timbali Technology Incubator : South Africa Case Study
Timbali technology incubator in the
Mpumalanga region of South Africa seeks to help rural
farmers whose livelihood has been undercut by high-volume
large farms. Supported by government financing and fee-based
services, Timbali is largely based on a franchise model. Its
clients supply cut flowers to Amablom, Timbali's
commercial arm. Individual clients can begin generating
revenue almost immediately. Timbali helps clients both
onsite and off, training them in business methods and
helping find loans to get started. It is helping clients
expand into other product lines and value-added food
processing, and plans to export its model into other parts
of South Africa. In this context, this report presents
summary, background and context, strategic vision, mission,
and targets, Timbali's distinctive features, brand and
market position, approach to incubation, institutional
set-up, business model, staffing, outcomes and conclusions,
critical success factors, lessons learned and implications
for agribusiness incubators, and future goals.
