Co-Creation Hub (CcHub) has announced a new co-funded initiative to support innovation within African universities, in partnership with the Make-IT in Africa project implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Called the UNI:NNOVATORS Startups-in-Residence Programme, the new initiative will see CcHub support 30 student-led innovations in Nigeria, Namibia, and Kenya in an effort to strengthen and accelerate the participation of academic institutions in the emerging innovation ecosystem across Africa. CcHub will work with six higher education institutions in the three chosen countries. In Namibia, we will work with the University of Namibia and Namibia University of Science and Technology. In Kenya, we will work with Riara University and the University of Nairobi,” it said.
