This intensive week-long programme brings together young innovators from across institutions to co-create solutions that address real-world challenges, strengthen the innovation and commercialization agenda, and contribute to the expansion of Karatina University’s innovation ecosystem.

At the heart of this initiative is co-creation ensuring that every innovation pitched emerges from collaboration, inclusivity, and practical relevance. Through mentorship, design thinking sessions, and business development coaching, participants will refine their ideas into viable, scalable ventures that have social and economic impact.

We commend our students for representing Karatina University with excellence and creativity.
