GOVT TO IMPLEMENT START-UP BILL
Government is working on a Start-Up Bill to support innovators and enable them to commercialise their ideas.
Minister of Technology and Science Felix Mutati says the bill will also include a venture capital fund meant to boost innovations from the trial stage.
Mr Mutati notes that this is one of the government’s initiatives to help innovators come up with solutions to challenges in various sectors such as agriculture and health and energy that the country is facing.
ZANIS reports that the Minister said this during the launch of the 2024 ZCAS University Innovation Exposition in Lusaka.
Mr Mutati stated that the introduction of initiatives such as the Start-up bill is evidence of the government’s commitment to advancing digital innovation and entrepreneurship.
