LIAT-Hub

LIAT-Hub

LIAT provides a favorable environment for students to bring their innovative ideas to life through LIAT-Hub. A 6-month incubation program is designed to help students develop their ideas from a concept to a viable startup, providing access to resources, mentorship, and training. We incubate high potential technological projects that address key emerging issues from Africa while having disruptive impact across the industries and creating wealth and jobs.

LIAT-Hub presents the various stages from idea to business plan and offers participants practical use of key entrepreneurial tools. LIAT has a dedicated space, “The Garage“, focused on developing entrepreneurial projects initiated by students and staff. It is also a place for exchange and coworking.
