LEAP Innovation Support by AGS Programme puts together the bright minds of entrepreneurs, students and researchers to create new or improved products and services. The facilitated process brings together different perspectives from Zambia and Finland, with the intention of designing sustainable, innovative solutions to serve the Zambian market.
We believe that great ideas are born when people from diverse backgrounds interact and ideate in a safe, supporting environment.
Innovations from universities rarely come to fruition due to lack of business skills. LEAP offers a new way for academics and businesses to work together, commercialise innovations and share knowledge. It does this by drawing knowledge from two diverse pools of expertise; Zambia and Finland.
Share, listen, discover, build and LEAPfrog your business.
Women-led enterprises, female students and researchers are particularly encouraged to reach out!
LEAP is implemented in partnership with the National Technology Business Centre (NTBC) of Zambia.
