The establishment of this department is in line with the objectives and vision of the Technology
Incubation Programme (TIP), which is to foster innovation, entrepreneurship, and job creation
in the country and to enhance the quality and sustainability of the Technology Incubation

some intervention measures geared towards promoting continuous improvement in services
and/or processes are provided. These services include: Monitoring and Evaluation, Bench-
marking, Networking/Linkages support to finance and knowledge providers among others.
