The government and players in various industries have been urged to closely work with academic institutions to commercialise innovations by students. 
Jomo Kenyatta University of Science and Technology (Jkuat) Chancellor Prof Joseph Mathu yesterday recognised various innovators that have been in the frontline with Covid-19 solutions.
“Among the inventions are ventilators, hand washing machines and Covid-19 dashboard used in predicting infection trends,” Mathu said.
Mathu spoke at Jkuat grounds during the institution’s 35th and Pan African University’s (PAU) 6th joint graduation ceremony which was held virtually with a select number of attendees.
