Dear Listers,

You are most welcome to the Nairobi Innovation Week being held next week from 6th to 10th March. More details can be found on: http://innovationweek.co.ke/

I am specifically also inviting you to a panel discussion on the National Innovation Policy on Thursday 9th at 11.40 am, for which I am the moderator. Details of this panel are shown below.

Panel 4: Kenya’s Innovation Policy

There is an STI policy which is still in draft form and which was the basis of the STI Act. The Act created the necessary institutional framework and almost all the institutions are operational. There is also visible innovation work going on in various ministries. What are the key elements of the policy framework that we need to create? How do we create this policy framework? How do we re-arrange the existing institutional framework for more effective coordination, while ensuring collaboration and exploitation of synergies?
