Abstract
The book has shown that socio-economic development in Africa is inextricably tied to innovation that is anchored on an integrated policy at the national, regional and continental levels. As various contributors have demonstrated in this volume, there is an acute limited capacity for innovation at the national level in many African countries. The limitations at the state level is particularly informed by the structural disarticulation of the economies of the various African countries. As scholars have shown, dependence on export of raw materials and unprocessed minerals cannot foster sustainable development in Africa (Page 2016). According to UNECA (2016) there are new momentum in boosting innovation and regional integration in Africa both at national, regional and continental levels. From Kenya and Ethiopia in East Africa to South Africa in Southern Africa as well as Nigeria and Ghana in West Africa innovation hubs are being established where new products are manufactured.
