The opening of the $94 million (Sh9.4 billion) Kenya Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Kenya was historic. It is envisioned that Kenya’s KAIST will be a world-class science and technology research university. There is no doubt that Kenya KAIST will transform the economy. However, its success and sustainability will depend on the Kenya KAIST leadership’s mobilisation of Industrial-Academic Collaboration. In the long-term, Kenya KAIST will have to create a university technology holding company and affiliated company.
