Building energy businesses: Knowledge sharing workshop with business incubators & entrepreneurs from Asia & Africa Chandaria BIIC Nairobi, Kenya Chandaria BIIC is an innovation incubation Centre located in Kenyatta University. Kenyatta University recognised innovation as a key driver of long- term economic growth, the primary basis for competitiveness in world markets and part of the response to many societal challenges (e.g. unemployment, sustainable development, among others). The innovation process itself is facing major challenges, especially in developing countries such as Kenya. It is under this backdrop that Kenyatta University (KU) decided to undertake innovation and incubation as one of its major strategic goals. As a leading University in the region, it embarked on the establishment of dedicated innovation hub which provides effective nurture and management of innovations. George Kosimbei, Director, Chandaria BIIC: The Coordinator is in-charge of the day to day running of the Centre, ensuring that innovations are properly incubated and supported so that their growth is accelerated. Support includes mentorship, couching, seed capital, development of prototypes, identification of market, business basics among others.
