The program started last year, piloting at KNUST with engineering student and so far has 15 innovative solutions has come out of the competition and we are currently working on scaling up some of their solutions to the market.
The program takes a comprehensive and complete approach by providing the students training on designing process, business development, technical development and presentation. The teams are also are paired with successful entrepreneur mentors.
Over 100 students have directly be involved in the program and close to 800 students have benefited directly as non-participants through the program business development and entrepreneurship classes and designing classes.
