Entrepreneurship and Commercialization

Riara University, the Kenya National Innovation Agency (KeNIA) and KCA University teams conducted a peer evaluation using the Entrepreneurial Institutional Maturity Framework (EIMF) on May 14, 2024, at Riara University. The EIMF assesses university entrepreneurial activities across six constructs: Leadership, Governance and Finance, Infrastructure, Human Capital, Policies and Strategies, Entrepreneurial Education, and Linkages. The evaluation began with Riara University’s self-assessment, followed by a peer review from KCA, and will conclude with validation by KeNIA. This process establishes a baseline for Riara University’s entrepreneurial maturity as it begins implementing the “Entrepreneurship and Commercialization Master Plan.
