The information is also useful for informing a broader understanding of informal business innovation in South Africa. We will therefore analyse the data, on an ongoing basis, as part of the research. The findings will be written-up and shared in research reports, policy briefs and other similar types of outputs. The outputs may be shared through webinars, academic conferences, social media posts and the project webpage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When possible, we will send notifications about the research through pop-up messages in the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\"

Since 2017, the HSRC team has carried out research to understand how informal business owners in South Africa build innovation capabilities for better business outcomes. Essentially, we want to understand how informal business owners use their skills and the knowledge available to them to create value for their customers. And how they use creative solutions to make do with the limited resources they have. The research is useful because informal businesses play an important role in providing affordable goods and services in their communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/infomalbizinnovationhub.hsrc.ac.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/MyBIP_GoogleStoreFeatureGraphic_1024x500px_V1_USE.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/informalbizinnovationhub.hsrc.ac.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/MyBIP_GoogleStoreFeatureGraphic_1024x500px_V1_USE.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/informalbizinnovationhub.hsrc.ac.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/MyBIP_GoogleStoreFeatureGraphic_1024x500px_V1_USE-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/informalbizinnovationhub.hsrc.ac.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/MyBIP_GoogleStoreFeatureGraphic_1024x500px_V1_USE-768x375.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MyBIP app is one of several resources that the HSRC has created so that informal business owners can benefit directly from the research findings.
