The French government will invest approximately Sh4.5 billion in the construction of a new Science and Engineering Complex at the University of Nairobi (UoN), strengthening research, innovation and skills development in a partnership that both countries say will create opportunities for young people.
The announcement emerged on Tuesday in Nairobi during the Youth and Innovation Day, a two-day event jointly hosted by the University of Nairobi and the French Embassy.
It brought together students, innovators, researchers and industry players to showcase youth-led innovations and entrepreneurial solutions.
