Developing University Entrepreneurial Ecosystems in Sub-Saharan Africa

Edited by Sam Kamuriwo, Sara Jones, Neil Marshall and Mary Wanjiru Kinoti

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: What is the status of university entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA)? How could they be strengthened so that students, academic staff and relevant stakeholders that are part of the ecosystems can best produce better quality ventures — i.e. that can employ more people or make venture founders more employable?
