Ghana Research & Industry Collaborative (GRIC)

The Ghana Research and Industry Collaborative (GRIC) was established as a national collaborative aimed at bridging the gap between researchers and industry stakeholders and drive collaboration and innovation. 

It comprises universities, applied research institutions, firms, government entities, and international partners with an 11-member Steering Committee and three sub-committees focused on collaboration, capacity-building, and fundraising. 

The GRIC secretariat is hosted by Impact Investing Ghana (IIGh) with the ultimate objective to become self-sustaining and to be independently hosted by its key stakeholders.
