University of Witwatersrand-Related Research Facilities

Mr. Gross recommended development of a research facility for the University of the Witwatersrand (WITS) at the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site at Sterkfontein, near Johannesburg. Mr. Gross developed the Financial Plan and Community Benefits Strategy for the Site for Gauteng DACEL. As part of that work, he identified the concept of a research facility to provide a revenue-generating opportunity for WITS that capitalizes on the university’s strengths in paleo-anthropology, and that creates spin-off business & technology development opportunities.
