Innovation and Technology Management Office (ITMO – University of Lagos) – Building an Integrated Support System for a Sustainable Innovation Ecosystem in Nigeria

About ITMO

The ITMO is responsible for the coordination of transnational incentive works of members of the University community emerging, either from their research and development activities or non-procedural mental capital inventions.

How the RISA Fund grant will be used

The ITMO project aims to create synergies between members of the consortium and innovators. This project will create an innovation bank (iBank) software which will serve as a database repository for all stakeholders, digitising current and previously funded research from consortium members while interfacing with researchers to enhance the possibility of translating research results into innovations.

It seeks to foster an innovative ecosystem, improve human capital and provide linkages between researchers and innovators.
