Dr. Tecla Sum – Director, Science Park, Innovation and Incubation Centre
The Science Park, Innovation and Incubation Centre is committed to fostering a vibrant culture of innovation, entrepreneurship, research, technology development and knowledge transfer. We provide a supportive environment where innovative ideas can be transformed into viable products, services and enterprises that respond to societal and industry needs.
At the Centre, we recognize that innovation is a powerful driver of sustainable economic and social development. Our goal is therefore to bridge the gap between research and practical application by supporting students, researchers, innovators, entrepreneurs and industry partners throughout the innovation journey—from ideation and prototyping to commercialization and market adoption.
Through incubation programmes, mentorship, capacity building, networking, technology transfer and strategic partnerships, the Centre seeks to empower innovators with the knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to succeed. We also facilitate collaboration among academia, industry, government and other stakeholders to create an ecosystem where innovative solutions can thrive.
As MMUST continues to strengthen its contribution to national development, the Science Park, Innovation and Incubation Centre remains dedicated to nurturing solutions that address real-world challenges, create employment opportunities, support entrepreneurship and contribute to Kenya’s knowledge-based economy.
I invite students, staff, researchers, entrepreneurs, industry partners, investors and other stakeholders to engage with the Centre and take advantage of the opportunities available. Together, we can transform ideas into impact and build a sustainable innovation ecosystem that benefits our University, our communities and the nation.
Welcome to a place where ideas grow, innovation thrives and impact begins.
