A shared framework for commercializing research.
Nayokan partners with Cameroonian universities and research institutions to turn academic outputs into ventures — with a common framework for IP, revenue, and long-term equity.
Illustrative imageWhat universities gain
from partnering with Nayokan.
Commercialization pathway
A defined route from research output to venture — end-to-end, with milestones the university can co-govern.
Structured IP framework
A common licensing and revenue framework designed for Cameroonian institutions — not imported wholesale from elsewhere.
Equity participation
Universities retain participation in the ventures they help commercialize, on transparent terms agreed at inception.
Student & researcher paths
Concrete post-degree pathways for students and researchers — cohorts, mentorships, employment.
The Startup Centre
brings four things
to the table.
Programme delivery — the structured commercialization cohort, mentors, tooling, milestone reviews.
Commercialization framework — the codified pathway from research to venture.
Ecosystem access — routes into Nayokan VC, VTI clusters, hospitality operations and partners.

about institutional partnership.
University partnerships begin with a working conversation. We ask that you nominate a partnership lead who can speak both to research and to commercialization intent.
