Every year, universities generate groundbreaking research, innovative technologies, and creative solutions with the potential to address some of society's greatest challenges. Yet only a small fraction of these innovations ever reach the marketplace or the communities they were designed to serve.
The missing link is often not the quality of the research. It is understanding how to protect, manage, and transfer intellectual property.
At JHUB Africa, we believe innovation does not end with discovery. Its true value is realised when research is translated into products, services, startups, policies, and technologies that create measurable economic and societal impact. Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer provide the pathway that enables this transformation.
To strengthen this conversation, JHUB Africa will host a training session titled "Intellectual Property & Technology Transfer: Turning Research into Real-World Innovation" on 15th July 2026 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Technology House, 2nd Floor, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT).
We are honoured to welcome Eng. B. K. Kariuki, Professional Mechanical Engineer, Senior Lecturer at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), and former Director of Intellectual Property Management and University-Industry Liaison (2010โ2025).
During his fifteen-year tenure leading JKUAT's Director of Intellectual Property Management and University-Industry Liaison Office, Eng. B.K Kariuki played a pivotal role in institutionalising intellectual property management, developing the University's comprehensive Intellectual Property Policy, and strengthening the commercialisation of research and university-industry collaboration. His expertise is further enriched by advanced training from the World Intellectual Property Organization โ WIPO, where he is also a certified Technology and Innovation Support Centre (TISC) professional.
This session will provide valuable insights for researchers, innovators, students, faculty, and entrepreneurs seeking to understand how intellectual property can support technology transfer, innovation commercialisation, industry collaboration, and sustainable impact.
The future of innovation belongs not only to those who make discoveries but also to those who know how to protect, develop, and successfully translate them into solutions that improve lives.
We look forward to an engaging session exploring how researchers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and students can unlock greater value from research by building strong Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer practices.
