“Innovation for community impact and sustainable business solutions”

THARAKA INVENTION CIRCLE CBO was invited to participate in Chuka University’s 11th Annual International Research Conference held on October 23-24, 2024. CBO Director Miriam Muthoni and I both want to thank Chuka University very much for the honor and privilege of receiving this invitation as well as the wonderful welcome we received at Chuka University. The conference and activities were very well conceived and executed so we were proud to have been a part of it. We want to thank the organizing committee for their outstanding conception and execution of the conference proceedings in addition to their kind and generous help. We will share the wonderful occasion with others. I didn’t know how beautiful and modern the Chuka University campus is. I’m sure it’s a wonderful place to teach and learn and research!

The current Vice Chancellor of Chuka University is Prof. Henry Mutembei M’Ikiugu. He was appointed in 2023, succeeding Prof. Dorcas Isutsa, who had been serving in an acting capacity after the resignation of the founding Vice Chancellor, Prof. Erastus Njoka.

The current Director of Research at Chuka University is Prof. Shelmith Wanja Munyiri. She oversees the Directorate of Research, Extension, and Publication and was most instrumental in conducting the event. I was thanked and congratulated by the Vice Chancellor and Director of Research for delivering a Keynote Address entitled “Nurturing Future Innovators: The intersection of Research, Enterprise and Community Impact”, the topic of which closely aligns with some of our work at Tharaka Invention Circle CBO.
