Abstract
Research findings provide insights into the governance and institutional architecture of Ghana’s innovation system and mandate. As well, insights comprise functions of key actors (including ‘missing actors’), and inputs for policy, regulation, incentives and rewards required to spur commercialisation of research in Ghana. The Science Technology and Innovation (STI) ecosystem study was conducted to identify and map research and innovation actors. Case studies of selected incubation and innovation hubs were also undertaken to generate relevant research evidence for the establishment of the Ghana Innovation and Research Commercialisation Centre (GIRC-Centre) in Ghana. The major threat to the innovation ecosystem is inadequacy of funding.
