Seda Technology Demonstration Centre (SZTDC) was established in 2001 as a section 21 company to provide technical, business development, and research support to small scale mining and mineral related enterprises. It is supported by the Small Enterprise Development Agency (Seda) Technology Program under the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

Since 2001, SZTDC has been focusing primarily on demonstration of technology solution to mineral processing and beneficiation technological challenges faced by small scale miners (SSM’s).  Following the new strategy developed by SZTDC, the mandate is now focused to utilise this unique experience and track record in creating sustainable SSM enterprises, and contributing to economic growth with its resultant job and wealth creation.

SZTDC provides entrepreneurs with the opportunity to commercialise viable small scale mining projects within an environment that provides relevant technical-appropriate technology linkages and business development services with the ultimate goal of ensuring that artesian and small scale mining projects (especially those owned by the previously disadvantaged) becomes viable business enterprises.
