Innovation Hub as a Catalyst for Research(er)-Led Innovation Outputs
Abstract
Despite the benefits of having an innovation hub in a university and the calls by the stakeholders in the Technical
University of Mombasa (TUM) Strategic Plan 2018-2022, there is no conducive physical space within the university that
supports multidisciplinary TUM researchers to converge among themselves or with external stakeholders, to
continuously brainstorm and co-create innovative solutions. As a response to these calls, this study explores innovation
hubs and centres in top universities, with the aim to draw lessons and inspiration of setting up one at TUM. This study
adopts exploratory research design. By being part of a broader research study, empirical data will not be collected and
analysed at this stage. With the insights from the review, the study proposes the repurposing of an existing building
space within TUM into a physical innovation hub. We envision that the innovation hub will contribute to the following
lasting benefits for TUM: enhance TUM’s contribution to a better society; increase TUM’s reputation; enhance the quality
of TUM’s research; as well as generate income for TUM
