TCC-CIMET Receives Delegation from KTU to Explore Strategic Collaboration
The TCC International Centre for Innovation, Manufacturing, Technology Transfer, and Entrepreneurship has received a high-level delegation from Koforidua Technical University (KTU) to discuss potential areas of institutional collaboration.
The visit focused on strengthening strategic partnerships in engineering education, innovation, technology transfer, entrepreneurship development, and capacity building. Discussions explored opportunities for joint research initiatives, enhanced industry–academia linkages, student innovation programs, and collaborative training in emerging technologies aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Speaking on behalf of the Director General of TCC-CIMET, Director of Business Development and Sustainability, Prof. Alexander Marful highlighted some of the key programs and projects the Centre is currently undertaking, emphasizing its commitment to applied research, innovation-driven entrepreneurship, technology transfer, and industry-focused capacity building.
“We currently have programs such as Quality Management System (QMS), Creative Capacity Building (CreCab), and Frugal Academic Digital Entrepreneurship (FADE), which are central to our mission at the Centre. Beyond the campus, we are actively engaging with surrounding communities, including Obuasi, Nkwatia and some other communities, to ensure our work has practical impact and supports local development,” he said.
Leading the delegation from Koforidua Technical University, Dean for International Programs and Institutional Linkages, Prof. Frank Dwomoh, explained the purpose of their visit.
“We came here purposely to explore collaboration opportunities. We previously collaborated with TCC during the Royal Academy of Engineering project, and we are looking to see whether there can be a follow-up and possibly expand into other areas of partnership. After visiting your lab and seeing some of the things you’re doing, like the water filters, we are particularly interested in working together to upgrade some of our water treatment facilities,” he said.
Prof. Dwomoh’s remarks highlighted the delegation’s intent to strengthen institutional ties, build on past collaborations, and leverage TCC-CIMET’s expertise to support practical solutions in water treatment and related technologies.
The engagement reflects a shared commitment to advancing practical engineering solutions, fostering innovation-driven entrepreneurship, and promoting sustainable technological development within Ghana and beyond.
Also present at the meeting was Mr. Michael Commeh, Research Fellow, TCC-CIMET, Mr. Gunu Albert, KTU and Ms. Collincia Ayifa, Digital Communications Officer, TCC-CIMET.
