Enhancing Fuel Cell Manufacturing through Special Economic Zones: A Strategic Overview

This analysis explores the role of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in boosting local fuel cell manufacturing capabilities in South Africa. It emphasizes a new policy approach focusing on desired industrial capabilities, long-term planning, and a comprehensive finance strategy supported by competitive incentives. The document discusses critical value chains, the importance of region-specific planning, and the challenges faced by the SEZ program. It provides insights into effective entry strategies and necessary support measures to ensure the success of fuel cell manufacturing within these zones.

  1. SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONES: Their Design on Enhancing Localisation of Fuel Cells Manufacturing Capability Alfred Tau

  2. Background

  3. SEZs: What and Why?

  4. New Policy Approach New Policy Approach Value chains: Greater focus on desired industrial capabilities Support system: More than just world-class infrastructure Regions: Greater focus on host regions and not just fenced area Planning: Long-term, coordinated and comprehensive Finance: Long-term and supported by a competitive incentive package Design: Broad to cater for diverse regional needs and contexts

  5. SEZ Incentive: Selected

  6. Platinum Selected Potential Clusters

  7. Fuel Cells and SEZ Planning • Opportunity: What is the nature of the opportunity for SA? • Which value chains • Strategy and tactics: What is the most effective way to enter chosen value chains? • Policy • Critical support measures • Regions: Can SA afford 2 Platinum Hubs now? • Which value chain in what region

  8. Challenges for SEZ Programme • Very easy to forget the core focus and drift into administrative requirements • Incentives: what is our exit strategy • Capacity constraints • Coordination: Joint planning and implementation across and within spheres of government and agencies
