EASTECO
The potential value of IP will be derived from commercialization of protected products and services. Regional approach to IP protection will benefit international trade facilitation and will provide harmonized rules for registration of IP rights within a given region contributes to ease of international trade. A regional cooperation framework would foster the harnessing of complementarities and pooling of resources for collective enhancement of the IP development effort like capacity building: administration of rights; skilled human capital; and physical and technological infrastructure.

EASTECO
The EAC development agenda recognizes the role that science, technology and innovations play. The leadership of the Partner States are fully aware of the need to promote science, technology and innovation as a means to attaining social and economic transformation. Therefore, the regional Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) strategy has been developed as a guide for the Partner States to align policies and programs in such a way that the regional priorities and targets in STEM are met. It is aimed at contributing to the overall growth and development agenda of the region.

EASTECO
The East African Regional STI Policy is aligned with regional EAC priorities as outlined in the EAC Vision 2050, the national development objectives of Partner States, as well as with the Sustainable Development Goals and the Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy for Africa 2024 (STISA). To ensure the achievement of the EAC Vision 2050 objectives, the East African Regional STI Policy provides for key long-term objectives and strategies about EAC long-term development and integration pillars, as well as the Partner States’ common areas of interest as per their respective Science, Technology and Innovation policies.

East African Science and Technology Commission
The promotion of a bioeconomy is high on the agenda for many countries globally, as a major strategic driver for
the transformation of biobased sectors for sustainable economic growth and development. A central feature of the
bioeconomy is that scientific research, knowledge and innovation can be applied not only for the production of food,
feed, fibre and fuel but also to produce a wide range of agro-industrial and value-added products. Another critical
element of the bioeconomy is to build value around local bioresources, maximising and using all parts of primary
produce and their products.
Today, more than 65% of the population in Eastern Africa depends on biological resources for food, energy, medicine,
and other uses. They frequently use these biological resources in their raw form and dispose of significant portions as
biological waste. There is therefore huge potential to add value to these biological resources through the development
of a bioeconomy.
Bioeconomy growth offers an opportunity for countries in Eastern Africa to achieve many of the Sustainable
Development Goals by 2030, making use of the region’s abundant natural resources to produce value added products,
thereby creating jobs, improving health and food security, generating wealth, and connecting smallholder farmers to
new biobased value chains. Additionally, the creation of new forms of sustainable bioenergy, and the conversion of
waste materials to useful products, will play an important role in protecting the environment and combating climate
change.
