How can new technologies developed abroad be transformed into inclusive innovation?

The IREK project is developing a new theoretical understanding of how new technologies developed abroad can be transformed into inclusive innovation in Kenya. This involves developing new theory and new concepts by combining the national innovation system perspective with a global value chain approach and through combining the innovation studies perspective with the science, technology and society perspective. At the IREK reference group workshop held in Copenhagen May 2016 key international scholars in the field was invited as scientific advisors to review the IREK work to develop the new approach and contribute with ideas to this endeavour.
