The Council is indebted to TelOne for sponsoring the Stakeholder Consultative Workshop on the Research Commercialisation Framework. In addition, RCZ appreciates all the participants as represented by Research Directors from Public and Private Universities, Research Institutions across the Country, Private Sector and SMEs representatives. The input as provided by the stakeholders towards improving the Framework and subsequent endorsement is greatly appreciated.

Special mention goes to the Governance Leadership for support throughout the RRIs.
