Bulawayo Connect
NUST Innovation and Business Development Unit
A National University of Science and Technology unit supporting innovation, technology transfer and business development.
The NUST Innovation and Business Development Unit supports the National University of Science and Technology’s work around innovation, technology transfer, enterprise and external engagement. It provides an institutional route through which research and technical knowledge can move toward practical use.
What the unit can connect
Innovation work may involve researchers, students, industry, public institutions and entrepreneurs. The unit’s value lies in helping those groups define opportunities, responsibilities and routes from an idea or research output to application.
For students and researchers
Approach with a clear description of the problem, current work, ownership questions and the support being requested. Keep records before public disclosure where intellectual property may matter.
For businesses and partners
A productive university partnership begins with a specific challenge and realistic timescale. Organisations should be ready to share context, identify a decision-maker and discuss how students or researchers will be credited and supported.
Current programmes
Structures and calls can change during the academic year. Use the official NUST page in the fact panel for current contacts and programme information.
