Ngesipiliyoni seminyaka engaphezu kwe-10, i-NGI isibe ngumkhiqizi ochwepheshile wemishini ehlakaniphile nezinsimbi zokuhlola nokulawula, ozibophezele ekuthuthukiseni, ekukhiqizeni izilingisi zebhethri, izinsiza zikagesi, imithwalo ye-elekthronikhi, abahloli be-supercapacitor, nezinye izinsimbi eziningi. Imikhiqizo ingasetshenziswa kabanzi ezimbonini zebhethri, ukunikezwa kwamandla, i-fuel cell, i-supercapacitor, i-electronics yabathengi, imoto yamandla entsha, i-semiconductor, njll.

I-NGI igcizelela kakhulu i-R&D nokuqanjwa kabusha futhi igcina ukubambisana okuseduze namanyuvesi amaningi, izikhungo zocwaningo lwesayensi nabaholi bezimboni.

Ngomgomo wokuba umhlinzeki wezixazululo ze-elekthronikhi onokwethenjelwa futhi onomthwalo wemfanelo wokukhiqiza okuhlakaniphile, amalungu e-NGI ahlale elwela futhi esendleleni eya phambili.
