Science, innovation & enterprise in Africa.

We are a non-partisan, non-political policy research and training Centre incorporated in Kenya as a not-for-profit company in 2011. Our work focuses on creating and harnessing value from the synergies of science, technology, innovation and entrepreneurship to solve societal problems. Our work focuses on three main themes namely: (i) Policies and legal frameworks that influence the creation of value from science, technology and innovation (ii) Institutional and behavioral change including the rules, norms, attitudes and mindsets and (iii) Competencies and Capabilities i.e. the skill sets – including the technical, organizational and managerial skills - required to turn science, technology and innovations into businesses and social enterprises.
