On her part, Professor Mugenda hailed ABC Bank for being the first bank to support the incubation program.
The donation is part of ABC Bank’s CSR strategy to help the youth to discover and develop their talent. The Innovation Incubation Centre recently organized an investors’ confidence to give students under the program an opportunity to show case their ideas and to link them with potential investors.
