CENIT@EA thrives on robust partnerships with the private sector, exemplified by initiatives like ICT4 Business and Academia, and Public-Private Sector Partnerships (APPP). Through industrial placements, students in the MSc EMoS program develop and implement digital solutions to address industry challenges through research and innovation.

Together with our partners, CENIT@EA creates linkages between young innovators, academia, the private and public sectors, and civil society to promote the uptake and commercialization of innovations in the EAC.

We collaborate with policymakers, a consortium of universities, private sector organizations, and over 50 private sector players to ensure our curriculum and graduates align with regional and societal needs.
