Zetech University is proud to announce its achievement
after being recognised for excellence in student-led innovation, the best student-led club
award by the Kenya National Innovation Agency (KeNIA) during the Commercialisation and
Entrepreneurial Institutional Leaders (CEIL) Summit 2025.
This recognition coincides with Zetech University’s deepening investment in research,

universities can function as powerful engines of innovation, preparing young leaders who
design solutions for both national and global challenges.”
