The Intellectual Property Management Office has protected the intellectual property of numerous innovations developed at the University of Nairobi. The innovations are in different stages of development with a number of the innovations being ready for commercialization. Here, we highlight some of the protected innovations that are ready for the market.
The British Council has launched the Innovation for African Universities (IAU) programme aimed at strengthening the capacity of Universities to participate and provide meaningful contributions as key players within the entrepreneurship ecosystem in their respective regions.
The programme will be delivered by a Centre of Excellence consisting of tripartite partners – University of Nairobi, City University of London and Change School London.
The highlight of the closing ceremony was a deeply passionate, future-oriented keynote address delivered by the Chief Guest, Dr. Tonny Omwansa, Chief Executive Officer of the Kenya National Innovation Agency (KeNIA). Having founded Nairobi Innovation Week in 2015 while serving as a faculty member at UoN, Dr. Omwansa returned to share a vision establishing the university's unique, disproportionate responsibility in shaping Kenya's economic future.
