Thousands of theses, papers and prototypes sit unused every year. Discoveries that could build industries never leave the shelf.
01 · The problem
Africa's research doesn't reach the market.
Thousands of theses, papers and prototypes sit unused every year. Discoveries that could build industries never leave the shelf.
The gap
Research to real-world impact is broken across the continent.
Buried IP
High-potential discoveries never get validated, patented or licensed.
Lost value
Jobs, health outcomes and export revenue left on the table.
02 · The solution
One AI brain for the whole innovation economy.
Africa Innovation Brain reads, scores and routes every research output — turning them into commercialization missions.
AI-native
Purpose-built models trained on African research and market context.
Always on
Continuously scans institutions, repositories and open scholarly data.
One layer
Universities, funders, government and industry share the same intelligence.
03 · The journey
From discovery to national impact — in one flow.
Every idea moves through five stages, with AI scoring, evidence-building and stakeholder matching along the way.
Discover
Research Radar™ and Resurrection Engine surface high-potential ideas.
Translate
Auto-generate concept notes, policy briefs and startup pitches.
Validate
Readiness Score, failure risks and evidence gaps in one diagnostic.
Commercialize
Match to funders, CDMOs, licensees and partners across Africa.
Impact
Track jobs, revenue and health outcomes on the national dashboard.
04 · The engines
12 intelligence engines. One operating system.
Each engine automates a step researchers and innovation offices used to do manually — and connects it to the next.
Innovation Potential Score™
10-pillar diagnostic for every project.
Research Prophet™
Probabilistic forecasts of commercial and policy pathways.
Commercialization Simulator
Compare 7 pathways: patent, publish, spin-off, license, government, VC, NGO.
Partnership Engine
Warm intros to funders, CDMOs, ministries and industry.
Concept & Grant Writer
One-click concept notes, policy briefs and grant drafts.
Policy Translation
Turn evidence into MoH-ready briefs and Malawi 2063 alignment.
05 · Malawi Innovation Atlas
Every innovation, live on the national map.
See where innovation is happening, where the gaps are, and which portfolios will move national indicators the most.
Live map
Location, TRL, status and needs for every project in the country.
Needs overlay
National challenges matched against active solutions.
Institution view

06 · Marketplace & impact
From a scored project to signed partnerships.
Innovations move from the platform to funders, manufacturers and ministries — and impact is tracked back in.
Innovation Marketplace
Public board of investable and licensable projects.
Deal-ready
Due diligence report, IP position and market size on tap.
Impact tracked
Jobs, revenue, patients reached and policy adoption in one view.
Ranked innovation portfolio
The admin dashboard ranks every submitted project by readiness, with filters by disease area, institution, funding readiness, policy relevance, and commercialisation potential.
| Rank | Project | Institution | Disease area | Readiness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Typhoid TCV community trial | MLW | Infectious diseases | 89/100 |
