When it comes to initiating innovative programs, Kenyatta University, seemingly has failed to get a rival.
The University has taken the lead in terms of innovation and championing creativity. Look at Chandaria Business and Innovation Incubation Center for instance. It was the first university to implement such an idea. Today, the Center hosts more than 40 projects; 70% of which are initiated and owned by K.U students. The remaining 30% are spread open for the innovators outside Kenyatta University Community. Interestingly, the center hosts a number of students from other institutions.
