Here To Know About This Project
CTech Systems developed the Innovation Bridge Platform for NCST, a dynamic, user-friendly digital ecosystem designed to accelerate innovation across Malawi. The platform acts as a centralized hub connecting innovators, funders, mentors, and ecosystem enablers, creating a seamless pathway from ideation to commercialization.
The Challenge Of Project
Despite a growing pool of innovators in Malawi, many face challenges accessing funding, mentorship, and exposure due to the lack of a centralized platform. NCST needed a secure digital system to connect innovators with key stakeholders and support the commercialization of ideas. Ctech Systems Ltd was engaged to develop the Innovation Bridge Platform to address this gap and strengthen Malawi’s innovation ecosystem.
