What is Kili Labs?
Kili Labs serves as Africa’s leading commercialisation engine by linking university research with industry demand. This innovative initiative operates through a four-layer system designed to facilitate the conversion of research into tangible results. By connecting academic brilliance with market needs, Kili Labs aims to foster the generation of patents, spinout companies, and high-growth ventures.
The 180-Day Pilot in Lagos
Starting with a focused 180-day pilot in Lagos, Nigeria, Kili Labs provides an essential framework for testing this model. This pilot will not only refine the operational processes but also lay the groundwork for a scalable approach that can be replicated across Africa. By engaging with local universities and business partners, the initiative seeks to unlock the region’s vast potential for innovation.
