SEADE

The SEADE label gathers all the African and European startups, universities, research centers, investors that have engaged in the SEADE project.

The SEADE project provides fundamental and tangible support services to the Research and Innovation (R&I) ecosystems of Europe (EU) and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) undertaking human-centered research, programme development/delivery, and pilot actions in four SSA target regions to support increased cooperation.

These actions will focus on two key areas identified as challenges for this ecosystem:

→ Digital transformation

→ International collaboration

With this approach, SEADE aims to provide a seamless ‘Route-to-Market’ pathway for the R&I actors in transferring research knowledge into market success, thus supporting the development of economic growth, and facilitate job market boosting.

The delivery of these new services within 4 pilot regions (Ghana, Kenya, Senegal, South Africa) will enable the SEADE consortium to set measurable criteria for the assessment of such actions within different cultural, political, and financial ecosystems.
