This book emphasizes the need for promoting innovation on the
African continent. It identifies the roadblocks for entrepreneurs
and discusses ways for developing an ecosystem for innovators to
pave a way through the barriers and create ground-breaking products
and new technologies which meet consumers' needs in Africa. In
order to stimulate innovation in African countries, there is the
need for a more appropriate approach for innovation to occur in a
context of international openness to knowledge. This book adopts a
practical approach, demonstrating how innovation is an important
driver of economic growth and competitiveness. It shows that
innovation in Africa should be driven by local people, in response
to local problems, and that open technology and knowledge sharing
are vital to this project. It further explores key enablers such as
the discovery of innovative talent, overcoming barriers, building
strategic partnerships and promoting innovation across the
continent. The book places emphasis on the creation of an
innovation ecosystem as a value-creating tool by stakeholders for
nation building and growth in Africa. This book will be of interest
to researchers, students, international agencies, governments,
businesses and individuals interested in the field of innovation
and its potentials. It will also be relevant to investors,
manufacturers and other stakeholders involved in the economic
development of Africa.
