The Intellectual Property & Science business of Thomson Reuters has announced a strategic partnership with The New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) to spearhead the development and monitoring of innovative output across the region.
NEPAD is one of the African Union's key technical bodies leading socio-economic development, providing tangible methods to advance the continental economy. This collaboration comes on the heels of the African Union's Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy for Africa (STISA) 2024 initiative, a continental strategy that aims to accelerate Africa's transition to an innovation-led and knowledge-based economy by boosting production in the science, technology, and innovation sectors.
Thomson Reuters' contribution will include data to assist the evaluation of key innovation indicators; training to accurately evaluate these performance indicators and monitor continent-wide scientific research; collaboration in producing academic research and proprietary white papers; and ensure the inclusion of African journal data into international indexes, making the research more visible and accessible.
