Universities and R&D Agencies Trade Fair

This is a groundbreaking new initiative focusing on facilitating the sharing of knowledge, research and technology between leading government Agencies/Parastatals, institution of Higher learning and companies/entrepreneurs on a global level. It enables an intellectual match-making between Africa’s R&D agencies and university exhibitors and many company, entrepreneur and investment organisation representatives! This is billed as one of the Africa’s Government-University-Industry largest marketplaces for science, technology and management.

Government-University-Industry partnerships are essential for universities, industry, and the National Economic growth. R&D Agencies and Universities benefit from their interactions with industry, particularly for faculty, department, staff and students. Industry derives benefits in the form of innovative and business growth project deliverables from their partnerships with R&D agencies and universities. Local communities, regions, States and the entire Nation benefit from these partnerships through the next generation of a highly trained workforce and the resulting economic benefits of growth (job growth, business growth, and profitability).

This makes IGICA Exhibition an ideal venue and occasion for R&D Agencies/Parastatals and Universities to improve their networking skills and their abilities to turn knowledge into profit. For companies, entrepreneurs and investors, on the other hand, it is an invaluable window to the global R&D Agencies/Parastatals and University environment.
