What's in it for you?

A successful collaboration could mean, for individuals, becoming part of the wider Mandela Mining Precinct, while for organisations, forming a partnership/joint venture to co-develop and co-launch the idea to market.

This is a global challenge and our client is willing to collaborate with both individuals/freelancers and other industry participants/universities on a solution that can be developed to answer this challenge. While the planned scope of this solution is for internal use only, depending on the scope and design, Mandela Mining Precinct could be open to a joint marketing opportunity.
