Isaac O. Nyambok
University of Nairobi

Conceptual Framework
Development in the last three decadesSynergies between Government, private
sector and research institutions (University)
• Interfacing of research and commercial development of products
• Research results and launching of new knowledge-based industries.

Convergence of Interests
Government’s• Economic development founded on industrial
growth• Human capitalization and population retention

Private Sector Industries• Competitive advantage founded on innovations
and application of R & D results• Acquisition of new skills and technology

Universities or Research Institutions
• Additional independent income
• Transfer of technology
• Base for innovation and research
• Profile and change of culture

Required Strategies
Bringing together innovators and entrepreneurs
Merging knowledge and industrial production
Interfacing experiments and business planning or incubation
![Page 7: ROLE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PARKS IN INDUSTRIALIZATION Isaac O. Nyambok University of Nairobi.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082709/56649da35503460f94a901f5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Location
S and T Parks normally situated:• Close to areas of highest research programmes• Abundance of technical know-how and
customized instrumentation and laboratory set-ups
• Close to the hub of industrial activities
![Page 8: ROLE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PARKS IN INDUSTRIALIZATION Isaac O. Nyambok University of Nairobi.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082709/56649da35503460f94a901f5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Main Goals
Provision of focal points for research and development (R & D) and innovations
Creation of business support and technology transfer initiatives
Support provision for start-ups and incubation of innovation-led, high growth, knowledge-based enterprises
Linkage between industry and universities and/or research institutions
![Page 9: ROLE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PARKS IN INDUSTRIALIZATION Isaac O. Nyambok University of Nairobi.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082709/56649da35503460f94a901f5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Categories of Science and Technology Parks• One wholly owned by a university • A joint venture between a university and
other partners• A co-operative project involving a
university, local authorities and other partners
• A consortium of several research institutions and the private sector

Types of Enterprises and Ownership
• Majority of enterprises may not be involved in incubation, but the technology beyond the discovery phases
![Page 11: ROLE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PARKS IN INDUSTRIALIZATION Isaac O. Nyambok University of Nairobi.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082709/56649da35503460f94a901f5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Types of Enterprises
• Research-based value added resellers• Those merging technology developed by
others with their own for enhanced new composite products
• Those assembling and selling technology developed by themselves
• Those catering for consultancy services• Those providing a base for contract research
![Page 12: ROLE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PARKS IN INDUSTRIALIZATION Isaac O. Nyambok University of Nairobi.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082709/56649da35503460f94a901f5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ownership of the Park
• Real estate owner (e.g. University of Nairobi)
• Participatory owners (those engaged in specific aspects or units and are so providing funds)
• Affiliates (not owners) involved in research collaboration, but will share in the benefits derived from intellectual property rights.

Measures of Success
Convergence of highly committed and talented personnel, and venture capital
In-built components for technology transfer, generation of income, company formation and growth, and high profile and occupancy rate
Contribution to the national economic growth and industrial development
![Page 14: ROLE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PARKS IN INDUSTRIALIZATION Isaac O. Nyambok University of Nairobi.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082709/56649da35503460f94a901f5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Addition of value to the natural and other resources (raw materials)
Inward investment, floatation, awards for success stories
Payment of royalties and re-investment in knowledge capital and innovation capacity
After commercialization through venture capital, the Parks must be self-sustaining and be able to generate extra income to the investors/owners.

THAT IS OUR EXPECTATION FROM THE SCIENCE
AND TECHNOLOGY PARKS IN SPURRING
INDUSTRIALIZATION
