Prioritise commercialisation of innovations: Shava

HIGHER and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science and Technology Development minister Frederick Shava has called on institutions of higher learning to focus on commercialising student innovations to drive economic growth.

He said Zimbabwe’s National Development Strategy 1 (NDS1) identified human capital development and innovation as key priorities for achieving an upper-middle-income economy by 2030.

The minister said his ministry was working on setting up innovation hubs and industrial parks across institutions of higher and tertiary learning.
