The Inspiring Solutions Awards 2024 at the 41st International Association of Science Parks (IASP) World Conference took place in Nairobi, Kenya, from 24-27 September 2024.
This prestigious event brought together leaders from across Africa’s Science and Technology Parks, who engaged with IASP’s global leadership, including CEO Ebba Lunde.
Representing the ELIDZ, our dedicated Science and Technology Park (STP) Manager, Ms Ludwe Macingwane participated in key discussions focused on areas of collaboration for the next 12 months. The goal is to strengthen the impact we have on the communities we serve across the African continent.
Also on the agenda were the support requirements that the African representatives aim to present to the global body, ensuring that our respective countries have the resources needed to thrive in the innovation landscape.
Beyond the conference, we will be engaging further to explore how we can assist our entrepreneurs and innovators to expand their footprint through the partnerships and networks established within the IASP community.
The ELIDZ Science and Technology Park is designed as an attractive, functional and interactive space to encourage the exchange of ideas and facilitate the development of creative technical solutions to problems. Its services include a variety of laboratory facilities, training platforms, an open innovation platform, networking solutions, as well as incubator services.
