Meet the six finalists of the 2026 #CleantechInnovationCompetition!
These outstanding innovators have emerged from a highly competitive process, showcasing exceptional creativity, impact and potential to transform Kenya’s environmental landscape through clean technology. Their solutions span key areas, including renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, waste management, E-mobility and green construction, reflecting the spirit of innovation for a sustainable future.
For many colorectal cancer survivors, completing treatment is only one milestone in a much longer journey.
This #ResearchWednesday, we spotlight a @StrathU study revealing the challenges that persist after cancer treatment.
Among 40 survivors who participated:
💰 83% reported lasting financial concerns.
💭 63% feared cancer recurrence.
🩺 59% experienced significant fatigue and pain.
Led by Prof. Bernhards Ogutu of CREATES and fellow researchers, the study calls for stronger survivorship care within Kenya's Universal Health Coverage system, including coordinated follow-up, psychological and nutritional support, rehabilitation and better financial protection.
Surviving cancer should not mean navigating recovery alone.
The end of treatment should mark the beginning of supported recovery, not the end of essential care.

Last month,Strathmore University, through the Strathmore Institute of Management and Technology (SI), welcomed Dr. Elijah Bach, Founder and President of the Bach Institute of Human Development (BIHD), for the official signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Presided over by Strathmore University's Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Planning & Partnerships, the signing marked the beginning of a strategic partnership aimed at expanding access to flexible, practical, and impact-driven professional development opportunities across East Africa.
Through this collaboration, Strathmore University will serve as the regional gateway for five specialised, six-week online certification programmes delivered through BIHD's fully automated digital learning platform:
- Parent Coach
- Senior Care Professional
- Special Needs Paraprofessional
- Professional Nanny
- Mental Wellness Coach
The partnership brings together BIHD's innovative digital learning and assessment model with Strathmore University's commitment to academic excellence, professional development, and meaningful community impact.
Designed with accessibility and flexibility in mind, the programmes will equip professionals, caregivers, and community workers with practical, industry-relevant skills to address emerging human development needs across the region.

Africa's AI governance gap is under scrutiny.
Africa is developing AI strategies, but putting effective, enforceable governance frameworks in place remains a challenge.
Meet Prof Bitange Ndemo, former Ambassador of Kenya to Belgium and the European Union, whose experience at the intersection of diplomacy, technology, and innovation brings valuable perspective to the continent’s AI future.
If you're a policymaker in the AI space, join Prof. Ndemo at the 5th (#GDSAISummit) to learn from his insights and ask the questions that need to be asked.

This #ResearchWednesday, we celebrate @StrathU's selection as one of six Kenyan institutions in the Google.org-funded Africa AI Upskilling Programme.
Through Strathmore School of Computing and Engineering Sciences (SCES), five AI Champions and five Teaching Assistants will help equip students with practical AI skills, from neural networks to responsible innovation.
The lingering question is, 'Will Africa simply consume AI, or help create its future?' At @StrathU, we believe Africa's AI future should be built here.

Deeply grateful to @ForeignOfficeKE and every institution that built the infrastructure for #TheTrustSummit2026.
Rebuilding global order takes more than declarations, it requires an unyielding coalition across governments, multilateral bodies, tech, private sector, civil society, and regulatory leaders.
Today, we celebrate two remarkable leaders who have a commitment to inspiring minds, nurturing hearts and transforming lives.
Happy Birthday to our Chancellor, Mons. Fernando Ocáriz, and our Vice-Chancellor, Dr. @VinceOgutu!
May the year ahead bring you abundant blessings, good health, renewed strength and countless reasons to smile.
From all of us at Strathmore University, thank you for leading with wisdom, serving with humility and inspiring us to #BeMore.
One date. Two leaders. A double dose of gratitude! 🎉
