Project I2M supports innovations from research as well as innovations resulting from non-procedural activities. The project aims to deploy resources to support the uptake of innovations from the proof-of-concept stage, through the prototype stage, to a market-ready MVP capable of attracting significant investment. Special consideration will be given to innovations from Nigerian youths, women, and persons with disabilities (PWD).

Project I2M is fully funded by the UK’s Research and Innovation Systems for Africa (RISA) and implemented by the Innovation and Technology Management Office (ITMO) of the University of Lagos.
