Togo: A U-Lab incubator to soon open at the University of Lomé

(Togo First) - A U-Lab incubator will soon open its doors at the University of Lomé. 

The incubator will produce quality innovations that tackle real issues both at the local and global levels. Entrepreneurs incubated at U-Lab will receive tailored technical support from experts, and financings; this, as a result of a partnership between the University of Lomé, Ecole des Mines Albi Carmaux in France, and Deal & consulting. 

"By launching this incubator, the University of Lomé will contribute to the country's development efforts, and especially to the national development plan (PND)," reads a release on the university's website.

All together, setting up and running the incubator should cost more than $850,000 (nearly XOF5008 million). The University will provide 21.87% of the funds. 

Next Tuesday, the academic institution, under the sponsorship of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will organize a reflection day on the theme "Academic incubator at the University of Lomé, a lever combining research and entrepreneurship."
