Oxentia, Oxford’s Global Innovation Consultancy is carrying out a visit to Kuwait University (KU), as part of a project funded by the Supreme Council for Planning, and administered by the United Nations Development Programme.
Under the direction of KU’s Prof. Laila Marouf, Oxentia’s Commercial Director, Pete Moores and lead consultant for the partnership with KU, Dr Lauren Sosdian will spend two days with KU management to define a strategy for the establishment of the Knowledge Transfer and Commercialisation Centre (KTCC), and deliver a number of capacity-building training workshops with KU staff.
An output for the visit will establish a clear vision for how external collaborations will be managed by the office, to help position KU as a hub for the development of the Kuwait Knowledge Economy.
