Kenya’s Research-to-Commercialization (R2C) Programme has mobilized $4.68 million in investment, strengthened innovation systems across 25 universities, and supported more than 400 jobs—76% held by women—demonstrating how institutional reform, leadership alignment, and stronger technology transfer offices can transform research into market-ready ventures. Implemented by Viktoria Ventures under the UK-funded RISA initiative and led by the Kenya National Innovation Agency, the programme offers a scalable model for innovation-driven economic growth in Kenya and across Africa.
