Innovation Space

The UEM Innovation Space (EdI) is a new initiative that was officially opened in November 2017 and is part of the Eduardo Mondlane University Computer Center (CIUEM).

The main role of the Innovation Space is to promote the innovation ecosystem within the Academy, by using it as a hub that connects the various units at UEM.

Innovation Space implements its mission through the following three pillars: 1) CREATIVITY – the generation and development of innovative ideas, 2) INNOVATION – the transformation of ideas into tangible outcomes, 3) ENTREPRENEURSHIP – the delivery of innovative products to end consumers

Since 2017, more than 4,000 people have visited the Innovation Space, with 15+ hackathons, 50+ workshops and short courses, 9+ talks, 20+ exhibitions/seminars, 25+ lectures, 20+ technological solutions developed, 200+ meetings and 5+ research activities in collaboration with international research institutions.

At the moment, the Innovation Space has two major challenges, namely the operationalization of its Incubator, as well as its Startup Acceleration Program.
