 This one-week intensive workshop is designed for scientists and 
engineers from different parts of East Africa who are interested in 
learning entrepreneurial skills to commercialise their scientific 
inventions. Participants will benefit from the international perspective
 and profitable insights of leading experts and fellow delegates from 
the East Africa region and the rest of the world.</span></p><p style="margin:0px;padding:1px 0px 10px;border:0px none;outline:0px none;font-size:11px;vertical-align:baseline;list-style:none outside none;line-height:1.4em;color:rgb(42,42,42);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><b style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;outline:0px none;vertical-align:baseline;list-style:none outside none;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial">PURPOSES AND NATURE</b><br>The
