Report recommends establishment of incubation hubs for innovators and start-ups on modern biotechnology activities in counties

 August 28^th 2025: A study by a government agency has recommended the establishment of incubation hubs for innovators and start-ups on modern biotechnology activities in all counties across the Country.

“The establishment of biotechnology innovation hubs for societal development, including in the Counties will go alone way in solving various challenges in food and nutrition security,” reads the report on national requirements for manpower development and capacity building in biosafety in Kenya, 2025 which was commissioned by the National Biosafety Authority and conducted by the University of Nairobi.

The study reinforces calls by the Council of Governors, CECM Agriculture Caucus call for collaboration between the Counties and National Biosafety Authority in adoption of modern biotechnology particularly genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the Country.

According to Dr. Kiplimo Arap Lagat, who is the Secretary of CECM Agriculture Caucus, the Constitution mandates Counties to manage agriculture, health, environment and therefore working with the Authority will go a long way to promoting modern biotechnology
