Programmes
- Grassroots innovation: recognition, documentation and referral.
- Research: studies on IP, innovation and sustainability.
- Incubation: mentoring, validation and institutional introductions.
- Sustainable technologies: assessment and promotion.
- Entrepreneurship: connecting innovators to mentors and markets.
