| dc.description.abstract | Cognizant of the challenges and opportunities presented by the United Nations
adoption of the Seventeen Sustainable Development Goals and the Government of
Kenya’s Big Four Agenda: Manufacturing, Food and Nutrition security, Health and
Housing, the conference further cascades the theme of the conference into five sub-
themes:
1) Agriculture, Food Security, and Agribusiness for Community Transformation
2) Transformative Development through Language, Culture and Communication
Technology
3) Innovative Approaches to Education and Training for Sustainable Development
4) Business and Innovative Approaches for Small and Medium Enterprise
Development
5) Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Innovation for Industrial
Transformation
These sub-themes were crafted to embrace main drivers of sustainable development
goals, namely: sharing knowledge through education; effective communication through
technology; human explorations and imaginations through Science and Mathematics,
sustainable, long-term growth and job creation through Small and Medium Enterprises
and food for all through Agriculture and Food Security. All the sub-themes in the
conference embrace innovation domains, as key driver in fast tracking economic
growth based on knowledge. Innovation then must be treated as business critical in all
sectors, for increased prosperity. | en_US |
