Charting the Path to 2030: CPUT's six Pillars of Research and Innovation Excellence

Mail & Guardian

M&G 21 November 2025

The Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) has been on a two-decade long mission to build a vibrant and impactful research and innovation culture.

Through its six Research Focus Areas, the university boasts a research and innovation ecosystem renowned for its spirit of ingenuity and boundary pushing. It is this spirit which continues to set CPUT researchers apart and guide us towards our vision of becoming the MIT of Africa.

Aligned with the African Union's Agenda 2063, the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the National Development Plan (NDP) 2030, the Focus Areas ensure CPUT's research is both nationally relevant, continentally responsive, and globally competitive.

Focus Area 1: Bioeconomy & Biotechnology
