SESSION IV: FROM S&T TO INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Problem 5: How do we build skills to find, adapt and adopt existing global, innovation and knowledge?

Innovation and entrepreneurship do not have to be limited to the R&D outputs of African scientists. A vast stockpile of existing inventions and innovations generated outside Africa can be applied to solving Africa's problems. A critical challenge, however, is developing the skills and know- how to find, adapt, and adopt this existing knowledge. How can this be done? What models exist in Asia and Latin America?

Problem 6: How can Africa cultivate a dynamic innovation eco- system?

S&T does not generate economic or social benefits unless the results of that R&D are converted into new goods and services. This entails moving from R&D and S&T to innovation and entrepreneurship. How can Africa cultivate a dynamic national, regional, and continental innovation eco- system? What lessons can be learned from Silicon Valley and other innovation hot spots and how can they be applied to support and finance fledgling entrepreneurs?
