The Corporate Innovation Challenge bridges the gap between academia and industry by connecting students and faculty with leading corporations to tackle real-world challenges. This program fosters multidisciplinary innovation, entrepreneurial thinking, and problem-solving, empowering participants to work on live projects that deliver impactful solutions with direct market and societal relevance.

Through partnerships with companies like Ecobarter, a Nigerian waste management organization, and EduTAMS, an EdTech platform, we’ve collaborated with student innovators from institutions such as the African University for Science & Technology (AUST) and Tai Solarin University of Education(TASUED). These successes demonstrate the transformative potential of corporate-academic partnerships in driving innovation.

As we expand the reach of this initiative, we invite funders and forward-thinking organizations to join us in amplifying its impact. Together, we can empower more innovators, strengthen industry- academia linkages, and drive sustainable development across Africa. Let’s shape the future of innovation—collaborate with us today!
