As part of the KU drive for sustainability and revenue growth, the Business Development (BD) unit was set up as a means through which funds could be generated for the university, to supplement existing grant funding, with the overall goal of ensuring the long-term sustainability of the University.
The unit’s vision is to provide business solutions with two main core focus areas:
- Increase KU revenue streams by establishing new revenue channels through new business opportunities and external partnerships.
- Increase the overall efficiency of usage of current resources towards better business enhancements.
