Funding and Guidance for Innovators
Research drives Economic Growth
(Just take a look at first-world countries!)
But first, they must
be translated into Innovations
Sadly, only a few Research works ever do
(estimates it to only 3 in 1000 innovations)
We looked into the Problem… Here’s what we found
Knowledge Gap
Inability to translate Research into Innovations that solve societal needs
Unclear Market Integration pathway
No uptake channels for industries to absorb inventions or keep up with innovative in keeping up with happenings on the research.
Lack of Support system
No access to resources, equipment, and facilities needed for market-ready innovation
In January 2023
We collaborated with RISA
