"Innovation not only comes to life in the West, but also in lots of African households"

"Innovation not only comes to life in the West, but also in lots of African households"
Interview with Professor Peter Knorringa, Scientific Director of the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for Frugal Innovation in Africa

Frugal innovation is a virtually unexplored area of research with a name that is unfamiliar to most people. In 2013, scientists and friends Prof. Peter Knorringa, Prof. Cees van Beers and André Leliveld, planted the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus flag on this terrain and launched the Centre for Frugal Innovation in Africa (CFIA). Since then, the centre has earned a name for itself and built up an international network. The centre's Scientific Director, Prof. Peter Knorringa, talks about the plans for 2019-2024 of the Centre.
