                         Conclusion …
 
 
Major challenges
  Resources allocation especially for Research and Innovation development should be
prioritized and recognized by government and development partners.
coordination challenges among STI actors should be underscored by government and
STI sectors
 
National and Regional Innovation system  should be strengthen through stake holders
participation.

This mutual learning exercise focuses on transforming the research and innovation ecosystem in Ethiopia, discussing STI policies, technology transfer, human resource development, job creation, and wealth generation. Key institutions like the Armauer Hansen Research Institute and Ethiopian Public Health Institute play crucial roles in biomedical research and capacity building. The establishment of Industrial Research Institutes aims to bolster industrial development and technology transfer. The event aims to shift Ethiopia from a facilitator to a main actor in research and innovation by 2024.
