Lancaster University Ghana launches "Ready to Scale Business Innovation Hub"
Lancaster University Ghana launched the "Ready to Scale Business Innovation Hub Programme" on the sideline of the University's engagement event, "Brunch with Corporates." The program, launched by Dr. Gloria Sraha, Head of the Business Studies Department at Lancaster University Ghana, aims to nurture student entrepreneurs, transform innovative ideas into sustainable businesses, and promote job creation. Dr. Sraha described the initiative as a bold step towards developing the next generation of innovators capable of creating businesses that addressed real-world challenges and contributed to Ghana's economic growth.
The program seeks to bridge the gap between innovation and commercial impact by equipping students with entrepreneurial skills, mentorship, and industry support. The launch event was themed: "The Quadruple Helix in Practice: Strengthening Academia, Community, Business and Government Collaboration in Ghana." Dr. Sraha stated, "We believe universities must do more than educate students. They must become catalysts for innovation and work closely with industry to solve society's pressing challenges." The "Ready to Scale Programme" provides a platform for innovative ideas to be nurtured, tested, refined, funded, and developed into scalable businesses capable of creating jobs and attracting investment.
