Loving the smell of Napalm in the morning

The executive of the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA) has been decimated. They left it to Ela Romanowska – one of the last remaining members of the “old guard” – to switch off the lights. After a purge as exciting as that which followed Polokwane, the dust is finally settling around the behemoth of South African technology funders.

So far, the signs are good. TIA is supporting exciting projects, and large ones at that. They have also proved to be reasonable, responsive and semi-quick’ish to sign on the dotted line.

Here’s looking at you, kid.
