The Ghana Research and Industry Collaborative (GRIC) has entered its third year with tangible progress in bridging the gap between research and industry, according to Amma Lartey, CEO of Impact Investing Ghana (IIGh).
Speaking at the 2025 GRIC Annual Forum, Madam Lartey outlined the initiative’s evolution.
“In the first year, we identified the problem and explored potential solutions. Year two, we brought some of those solutions to market through industry pre-sessions. Now, in year three, we’re seeing actual cases of commercialization.”
She emphasized GRIC’s growing impact, noting that the collaborative is moving from showcasing a handful of promising research projects to scaling dozens.
“We’re hoping that by year four and five, we’ll be looking at not just six research works, but 20 to 100 commercially viable projects being used by businesses”.
