Abstract:
This research paper focuses on the growth models of new business ventures and their applicability to a specific type of start-up, environmental technology–based growth company via a case study. Start-ups companies are a focal point of interest of this decade. Start-ups develop products and services in conditions of market and technological uncertainty and competitive volatility. Due to their crucial role in the net job creation there is a growing need and interest to understand, model and develop start-ups. One industry of high interest in regards of start-up activity is that of environmental technology business, as it is addressing needs for solving problems related to such global issues as pollution, waste management and need for renewable energy sources. However, there is a very limited amount of prior research focusing specifically to start-up companies in this field. E.g. the growth stage models of start-up companies do not take in account the time dimensions caused by capital and regulatory demands that differentiate the development pace and stages of development of an environmental technology start-up from its peers in other industries. On the other hand, general research of environmental technology businesses often lacks the entrepreneurial and start-up focus, bundling efforts of new ventures in the field together with major projects by established companies. The aim of this paper is to provide a framework that helps understanding the growth process of new ventures in the aforementioned industry. In this case study, the authors assessed the suitability of models of growth dimensions, sources and obstacles proposed by earlier research and literature to a case company: a start-up company providing environmental technology for global business-to-business markets. Via qualitative, interview-based data collection among the company stakeholder and external business experts and analysis of the obtained qualitative data the authors were able to draw conclusions regarding compatibility of the case to the earlier models of new venture growth. The results obtained shows that despite the common features between the case company´s growth trajectory and models proposed by earlier research, none of the stage models offers a full match. Based on the findings the authors propose a new, partly cyclical model of start-up growth for further elaboration.

This paper describes the author's involvement in the early experiences of a start-up biotechnology company created outside the university environment. In this case, two self-employed, entrepreneurial scientists with no university affiliation developed commercializable intellectual property. Falling outside the more common university technology commercialization process, there were a number of issues that were quite different from those a typical university start-up company might face, and these are illustrated. Most importantly, this case is an exemplar of how other non-university entrepreneurs might contemplate utilizing universities to further their technology commercialization objectives.

Abstract:
Con il d.l. 31 maggio 2014, n. 83 convertito successivamente in l. 29 luglio 2014, n. 106, viene introdotta all’interno del panorama italiano la figura della start-up turismo, una realtà innovativa che sta acquisendo sempre maggiore rilevanza nel nostro paese. Prendendo in considerazione l’importanza che il settore turistico svolge nello scenario economico italiano, il legislatore ha voluto inserire tale fattispecie all’interno del nostro ordinamento, dotandola di numerose agevolazioni e benefici sulla base della sua natura innovativa. L’obiettivo che si pone questa tesi sarà dunque l’analisi del contesto normativo della start-up turismo, ponendo particolare attenzione ai requisiti che le società devono dimostrare di avere per ottenere tale qualifica, e al concetto di innovazione a cui queste devono costantemente ispirarsi. Le numerose deroghe e privilegi presenti all’interno della disciplina più generale della start-up innovativa, hanno sicuramente fatto avvicinare molti imprenditori appartenenti al settore turistico a questa nuova figura: tali imprese non sono solo infatti destinatarie di molteplici agevolazioni come il riconoscimento di un credito d’imposta per le spese nell’ambito di ricerca e sviluppo e di una particolare disciplina del lavoro flessibile, ma anche di una serie di bandi e progetti creati appositamente per il finanziamento di queste. È infatti fondamentale tenere in considerazione che essendo società altamente innovative sono ad elevato rischio di fallibilità e dunque trovano difficoltà nel reperire finanziamenti attraverso i canali tradizionali; proprio per questo il legislatore ha voluto garantire inizialmente alle sole start-up, e successivamente anche alle pmi innovative, la possibilità di finanziamento attraverso il canale dell’equity crowdfunding, il quale permette la raccolta di capitale all’interno di piattaforme digitali. A conclusione della tesi verrà effettuata un’analisi empirica su un campione di circa 160 start-up presenti su tutto il territorio italiano, con l’obiettivo di investigare e approfondire le peculiarità che caratterizzano maggiormente queste imprese innovative; tra i numerosi aspetti esaminati sarà possibile ritrovare i requisiti di innovazione soddisfatti, la distribuzione geografica e le varie attività svolte da queste.

Abstract:
La generazione di nuove attività imprenditoriali è un processo essenziale per la crescita economica e permette di portare innovazione e produrre sviluppo, e rappresenta un veicolo fondamentale per l’ingresso nel contesto economico di nuove e diverse organizzazioni di idee. La Commissione Europea ha evidenziato che per trasformare in successo un’iniziativa imprenditorie è necessaria la capacità di combinare creatività o innovazione con una sana gestione e di saper adattare un’impresa per ottimizzarne lo sviluppo in tutte le fasi del suo ciclo di vita. Il presente lavoro si prefigge di analizzare il processo decisionale che porta l’imprenditore alla creazione di una nuova impresa. Il fine di questa analisi è quello di individuare le dinamiche che dominano questo tipo di processo, le modalità tramite cui l’imprenditore affronta l’incertezza, coglie le opportunità, le sfrutta e giunge efficacemente a nuove iniziative e a nuovi business. Sono emerse numerose teorie che hanno studiato il processo decisionale, una tra tutte l’effectuation theory. Attraverso questa teoria ciò che si vuole approfondire è come attraverso logica effettuale un imprenditore riesca a riconoscere e creare nuove opportunità di business. Partendo dal fenomeno “start-up” si analizza il fenomeno delle start-up innovative, con particolare attenzione al mondo della mobilità e trasporti. In questo settore, infatti, come conseguenza della maggiore consapevolezza da parte della popolazione verso le tematiche ambientali, l’innovazione aziendale offre un grande contributo verso la sostenibilità urbana. Il lavoro porta come caso di studio la start-up BusForFun, una giovane mobility company che viaggia in modo sostenibile, sicuro ed economico attraverso l’Europa. Si approfondirà la situazione attuale caratterizzata da una profonda crisi, causata dalla diffusione della pandemia di COVID-19. Moltissime start-up, infatti, per fronteggiare tale crisi hanno deciso di fare “pivot”, e dunque cambiare strategia di business in base alle esigenze del mercato.

Abstract:
Il seguente percorso di tesi si articola in due parti. Nella prima si andranno ad illustrare le varie possibili fonti di finanziamento alle quali uno o più imprenditori potranno rivolgersi nella creazione di una nuova impresa, con una attenzione particolare a quello che è il crowdfunding, o finanziamento collettivo, considerato una alternativa valida e innovativa alle forme tradizionali per raccogliere i capitali necessari. Nella seconda parte sarà presentata la startup italiana Look Ahead, di cui il sottoscritto ne rappresenta una delle menti, come esempio di una startup che ha scelto di usufruire di questo particolare tipo di finanziamento. In particolare, ne sarà ricostruito l’intero Business Plan redatto in sede accademica, in modo da mettere in evidenza le caratteristiche del prodotto offerto, il segmento di mercato servito, il modello di business e l’analisi finanziaria.

Abstract:
Nell’attuale contesto provato dagli effetti di una profonda crisi globale, alcune iniziative imprenditoriali caratterizzate da alti tassi di innovazione, hanno permesso a diverse economie di generare notevoli vantaggi competitivi. I principali attori dell’innovazione in questo senso sono le imprese startup, iniziative economiche di nuova costituzione che si originano da idee di business nuove rispetto al passato, spesso nel settore delle tecnologie, e che sono in grado di generare ricchezza e occupazione. Il presente lavoro si focalizza sull’analisi della normativa italiana sulle “start-up innovative”. Dopo aver appurato il significato e il ruolo che tali imprese rivestono nello scenario economico attuale ne verranno approfondite le caratteristiche principali. Saranno poi esaminati i principali interventi promossi dai vari Stati a favore di queste nuove realtà analizzando i casi più conosciuti e riusciti. Si procederà poi con lo studio della normativa introdotta nel nostro Paese analizzando i requisiti di legge richiesti per il riconoscimento dello status di start-up innovativa, start-up a vocazione sociale e di incubatore certificato. Verranno presentati poi alcuni dati statistici sulla diffusione e distribuzione di queste realtà in Italia in seguito all’introduzione del Decreto. Si procederà poi ad esaminare le agevolazioni, le deroghe e le altre misure di favore previste dalla legge per le start-up e gli incubatori.

Abstract:
Negli ultimi anni il fenomeno relativo alle start up innovative, quale fenomeno di sviluppo economico, è stato oggetto di particolare attenzione da parte dei governi, società ed economisti. Il seguente lavoro di tesi si prefigge di studiare il panorama relativo alle start up innovative in Italia, con un’attenzione particolare alle reti sociali attivate dall’imprenditore per l’avvio e lo sviluppo di questa attività. Il focus del primo capitolo riguarda il processo di generazione di una nuova impresa, pertanto si cercherà di descrivere le fasi di vita delle start up fornendone una descrizione il più completa possibile, ponendo un’attenzione particolare al concetto di innovazione, alla composizione del team imprenditoriale quale fattore che contribuisce al successo della start up, alle modalità di finanziamento dell’attività in tutte le sue fasi e ai business model utilizzati. Lo scopo del secondo capitolo sarà quello di indagare sulle reti relazionali attivate dall’imprenditore per favorire lo start up d’impresa. Infatti, tra gli sviluppi recenti delle teorie dell’imprenditorialità, numerose ricerche riguardano la relazione tra l’imprenditoria e le reti sociali. L'indagine sul tema delle reti sociali viene svolta attraverso una revisione della letteratura esistente in materia e, successivamente, attraverso lo studio empirico di un dataset relativo alle performance economico-finanziarie e le caratteristiche dell’imprenditore e dei soci che formano la start up innovativa in Italia. Il campione preso in analisi è formato da cinquecento start up innovative nate negli ultimi anni in Italia.

Abstract:
Il presente lavoro si pone l’obiettivo di comprendere, a distanza di oltre quattro anni dall’emanazione del D.L. 179/2012, se le start up siano davvero lo strumento per rilanciare l’economia italiana e, soprattutto, se l’attuazione e la disciplina delle stesse, sia stata idoneamente positivizzata dall’ordinamento giuridico. In particolare, dopo aver delineato i confini definitori delle start up e coltone i connotati principali, verranno analizzati gli interventi legislativi previsti ad hoc per le start up sia sotto il profilo civilistico-commerciale, che giuslavoristico, ma soprattutto fiscale e verificare se queste misure abbiano davvero aiutato l’imprenditoria italiana. Accanto a questa analisi, prettamente giuridica, si affiancherà l’ulteriore disamina di stampo maggiormente fiscale ed economico perché improntato sull’esame degli aspetti fiscali delle politiche di sostegno a favore delle start up, cogliendone le peculiarità e soprattutto evidenziando gli sforzi operati dall’Italia rispetto a quanto attuato dagli altri stati esteri.

Abstract:
L’elaborato ha lo scopo di analizzare la disciplina delle start-up innovative italiane e, in particolare, di studiare in che cosa consistono le agevolazioni fiscali di cui possono fruire. Dopo una breve introduzione, che espone il tema della tesi, il primo capitolo fornisce una panoramica su tale nuova tipologia di impresa, a partire dalla definizione fino a giungere alla suddivisione delle fasi del ciclo di vita. Il secondo capitolo, attraverso lo studio del Decreto-legge n. 179/2012, affronta la disciplina delle start-up innovative italiane, esaminandone la definizione secondo la normativa e introducendo anche le figure degli incubatori certificati e delle Piccole e Medie Imprese innovative. Il terzo capitolo entra nel vivo dell’elaborato articolando le numerose agevolazioni fiscali di cui le start-up possono beneficiare, facendo anche una breve descrizione delle misure agevolative societarie, finanziarie e giulavoristiche. Infine, il quarto capitolo si concentra sull’analisi di un campione di start-up innovative estrapolato dal database “Aida – Analisi Informatizzata Delle Aziende”, che prende in considerazione le aziende che hanno come ultimo bilancio disponibile quello risalente al 2018, che sono contraddistinte da imposte maggiore di zero e da un valore della produzione superiore a centomila euro, mentre sono escluse quelle che sono nel primo anno di esercizio e quelle che sono interessate da procedure concorsuali, come il fallimento e la liquidazione. Ciò che si vuole ottenere è l’incidenza dell’imposta sull’utile lordo, attraverso i dati estrapolati per le varie aziende nel biennio 2017-2018, per capire in che modo le agevolazioni fiscali influenzino questo dato, paragonando, poi, la percentuale ricavata con l’aliquota prevista per tutte le altre tipologie imprese. L’elaborato si conclude descrivendo i risultati che sono emersi dall’analisi, evidenziando il modo in cui le agevolazioni influiscono sul dato finale.

Abstract:
AbstractIn the current age of innovative business financing opportunities available from fintech apps, social media crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and RocketHub, et.al., and friends and family private equity investors, start-up firms can strategically source their venture capital funds from many globally disperse organizations and individuals. As the firm in this case learned, the benefit of alternative investing sources comes with a critical hidden risk for corporate governance. After a financial restructuring, a typical Silicon Valley software start-up found itself with close to 300 external individual shareholders, some of whom had not been documented as accredited investors. The regulatory agency could decide that the prior actions of the founders and the decisions of the board had been prejudicial to the interests of the minority investors. The management of this small private company faced an atypical investor relations dilemma, before its initial public offering (IPO).

Abstract:
An essential part of the corporate sector is formed by small and highly innovative enterprises, the start-ups. They introduce highly innovative activities, new solutions, integrate research results into their activities, as well as apply new technologies in their everyday practice. Start-ups are increasingly popular in different sectors of the national economy since they are a vital part of the entrepreneurial environment. The entrepreneurial activity of start-ups focuses on highly innovative products or services with high added value for the target customer. The main goal of the current paper is to target the innovative activity of Slovak start-ups. The paper presents partial results of the research conducted by targeting Slovak start-ups. The research results conclude that innovative start-ups are the driving force of the entrepreneurial sector. The innovative activities of these businesses rank them among the highly competitive and successful players on the market, even in a challenging business environment.

Abstract:
The aim of the paper is to disclose how entrepreneurship education can be developed and examined in a Higher Education Insitution (HEI) via a EU funded local project. The paper examines HEI students´ motivation factors and needs concerning Entrepreneurship education (EE). Start It Up – Support for young entrepreneurship project´s objective is to support students and young people in entrepreneurship, new business creation and innovation, and also employment in and out the innovation ecosystems. Differentiating entrepreneurial methods, best practices, entrepreneurship coaching, and entrepreneurship spirit are tested and organized throughout the project. The project strives to deliver tools and motivation towards entrepreneurship. This article introduces the activities that have been done to support EE and a case study which examines how the entrepreneurship education can be improved to develop EE in the Finnish HEI. The main testing platforms for EE are presented and the results of the case study show that to promote entrepreneurship and to enhance students´ awareness and motivation towards entrepreneurship in the Finnish HEI, the offering of EE teaching, events and competitions for students should be increased and promoted more effectively.

Abstract:
Small and medium-sized enterprises represent the largest scale of private enterprises both on an international and national (Slovakia) scale. These are often the companies that launch new conceptual solutions and improve existing products or services. Start-ups have a strong drive and expand entrepreneurial activity through innovation. In the period of the COVID-19 pandemic, start-up initiatives have an even greater opportunity to emphasize their business activity, as they can conduct their activity on­line and are not strictly tied to specific locations unlike other types of SMEs. This paper is addressing the field of entrepreneurship, management and development of innovative businesses. The aim of this paper is to present the latest research results in the field of innovative and start-up businesses in Slovakia. The article reflects on the up-to-date theoretical background of the issue based on empirical research on innovative activity of the SME sec­tor with a special focus on start-ups.

Abstract:
This research paper focuses on start-ups. The topicality of the research is based on economic development requirements and trends. Development of start-ups is an important chain link in the innovation system and promotes the change of the paradigm to modern and innovative economy. The aim of the research is to study start-up associations in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia and analyze start-ups registered in databases of these associations. Tasks of the research are the following: to carry out a theoretical analysis of Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian start-up associations and start-ups; to study the variables that characterize start-ups registered in start-up associations in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia; to perform data analysis and visualize results; to present conclusions and proposals for further research. Research covers data about start-ups founded in the period from 2011 until 2021 and included in Baltic start-up association databases. General scientific research methods used in the research are the monographic or descriptive research, the comparative analysis and the descriptive statistics. Research authors conclude that Latvian association of start-ups is different from counterparts in Lithuania and Estonia. It might be assumed that it affects the divergence of the number of start-ups registered in databases. In Latvia, this number is almost 10 times lower than in other Baltic states.

Full text
Abstract:
The overarching goals for the UK in relation to global water security are to; tackle and reverse growing water insecurity and its consequences caused by depletion and degradation of natural water sources; and address poor water management and increasing demand. To do this, the UK has a well-developed water ‘offer’ that together can help reach the goal of global water security. This note details some of that water offer: UK water leadership: The UK developed the concept of modern sanitation and water supply, with an early example being the Victorian Bazalgette London sewer; Ownership and regulation: The UK has four models of ownership: government department in Northern Ireland, GoCo in Scotland, Mutual in Wales, and private companies in England. But the common thread is strong and clear, regulation to deliver the right outcomes for society; Competition and markets: The UK set up the world’s first water retail markets for business customers, delivering savings and environmental benefits. Similar market mechanisms are being developed for sewage sludge, which will help drive circular economy solutions; Innovation: The UK has a huge number of water tech start-ups and most water companies have labs and pilot schemes to support these fledgling companies. At the same time, the English regulator, Ofwat, has established a huge innovation fund, which along with the Scottish Hydro Nation initiative has made the UK the best place in the world for water innovation and tech.

Abstract:
The UK is seeing growing interest in alternative protein sources to traditional animal-based proteins such as beef, lamb, pork, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy. There is already an extensive market in alternative protein materials, however, technological advances combined with the pressure for more sustainable sources of protein has led to an acceleration of innovation and product development and the introduction of a large amount of new alternative protein ingredients and products to the market. These have the potential to dramatically impact on the UK food system. This report is a combination of desk research, based on thorough review of the academic and non-academic literature and of the alternative proteins start-up scene, and presents an analysis of the emerging market for alternative proteins, the potential implications and the potential policy responses that the FSA might need to consider. Four main categories of alternative proteins are presented and reviewed in this report: Plant-based meat substitutes Novel protein sources Proteins and biomass biosynthesised by microorganisms Cultured meat

Full text
Abstract:
Doing development differently rests on deliberate efforts to reflect and learn, not just about what programmes are doing and achieving, but about how they are working. This is particularly important for an action research programme like Child Labour: Action- Research-Innovation in South and South-Eastern Asia (CLARISSA), which is implemented by a consortium of organisations from across the research and development spectrum, during a rapidly changing global pandemic. Harnessing the potential of diverse skills and complementary strengths across partners in responding to the complex challenge of the worst forms of child labour, requires capacity to work together in novel ways. This Research and Evidence Paper documents how CLARISSA approached capacity development, and what we learnt from our challenges and successes. From the start, the programme incorporated a capacity development strategy resting on self-assessment of a wide range of behavioural and technical competencies that were deemed important for programme implementation, formal training activities, and periodic review of progress through an after-action review (AAR) process. An inventory of capacity development activities that took place during the first year of implementation reveals a wide range of additional, unplanned activities, enabled by the programme’s flexibility and adaptive management strategy. These are organised into eight modalities, according to the individual or collective nature of the activity, and its sequencing – namely, whether capacity development happens prior to, during, or after (from) implementation. We conclude with some reflections on the emergent nature of capacity development. Planning capacity development in an adaptive programme provides a scaffolding in terms of time, resources, and legitimacy that sustains adaptiveness. We also recognise the gaps that remain to be addressed, particularly on scaling up individual learning to collective capabilities, and widening the focus from implementation teams to individuals working at consortium level.

African Open Science Platform Part 1: Landscape Study. Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/assaf.2019/0047.

Full text
Abstract:
This report maps the African landscape of Open Science – with a focus on Open Data as a sub-set of Open Science. Data to inform the landscape study were collected through a variety of methods, including surveys, desk research, engagement with a community of practice, networking with stakeholders, participation in conferences, case study presentations, and workshops hosted. Although the majority of African countries (35 of 54) demonstrates commitment to science through its investment in research and development (R&D), academies of science, ministries of science and technology, policies, recognition of research, and participation in the Science Granting Councils Initiative (SGCI), the following countries demonstrate the highest commitment and political willingness to invest in science: Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda. In addition to existing policies in Science, Technology and Innovation (STI), the following countries have made progress towards Open Data policies: Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, South Africa and Uganda. Only two African countries (Kenya and South Africa) at this stage contribute 0.8% of its GDP (Gross Domestic Product) to R&D (Research and Development), which is the closest to the AU’s (African Union’s) suggested 1%. Countries such as Lesotho and Madagascar ranked as 0%, while the R&D expenditure for 24 African countries is unknown. In addition to this, science globally has become fully dependent on stable ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) infrastructure, which includes connectivity/bandwidth, high performance computing facilities and data services. This is especially applicable since countries globally are finding themselves in the midst of the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR), which is not only “about” data, but which “is” data. According to an article1 by Alan Marcus (2015) (Senior Director, Head of Information Technology and Telecommunications Industries, World Economic Forum), “At its core, data represents a post-industrial opportunity. Its uses have unprecedented complexity, velocity and global reach. As digital communications become ubiquitous, data will rule in a world where nearly everyone and everything is connected in real time. That will require a highly reliable, secure and available infrastructure at its core, and innovation at the edge.” Every industry is affected as part of this revolution – also science. An important component of the digital transformation is “trust” – people must be able to trust that governments and all other industries (including the science sector), adequately handle and protect their data. This requires accountability on a global level, and digital industries must embrace the change and go for a higher standard of protection. “This will reassure consumers and citizens, benefitting the whole digital economy”, says Marcus. A stable and secure information and communication technologies (ICT) infrastructure – currently provided by the National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) – is key to advance collaboration in science. The AfricaConnect2 project (AfricaConnect (2012–2014) and AfricaConnect2 (2016–2018)) through establishing connectivity between National Research and Education Networks (NRENs), is planning to roll out AfricaConnect3 by the end of 2019. The concern however is that selected African governments (with the exception of a few countries such as South Africa, Mozambique, Ethiopia and others) have low awareness of the impact the Internet has today on all societal levels, how much ICT (and the 4th Industrial Revolution) have affected research, and the added value an NREN can bring to higher education and research in addressing the respective needs, which is far more complex than simply providing connectivity. Apart from more commitment and investment in R&D, African governments – to become and remain part of the 4th Industrial Revolution – have no option other than to acknowledge and commit to the role NRENs play in advancing science towards addressing the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals). For successful collaboration and direction, it is fundamental that policies within one country are aligned with one another. Alignment on continental level is crucial for the future Pan-African African Open Science Platform to be successful. Both the HIPSSA ((Harmonization of ICT Policies in Sub-Saharan Africa)3 project and WATRA (the West Africa Telecommunications Regulators Assembly)4, have made progress towards the regulation of the telecom sector, and in particular of bottlenecks which curb the development of competition among ISPs. A study under HIPSSA identified potential bottlenecks in access at an affordable price to the international capacity of submarine cables and suggested means and tools used by regulators to remedy them. Work on the recommended measures and making them operational continues in collaboration with WATRA. In addition to sufficient bandwidth and connectivity, high-performance computing facilities and services in support of data sharing are also required. The South African National Integrated Cyberinfrastructure System5 (NICIS) has made great progress in planning and setting up a cyberinfrastructure ecosystem in support of collaborative science and data sharing. The regional Southern African Development Community6 (SADC) Cyber-infrastructure Framework provides a valuable roadmap towards high-speed Internet, developing human capacity and skills in ICT technologies, high- performance computing and more. The following countries have been identified as having high-performance computing facilities, some as a result of the Square Kilometre Array7 (SKA) partnership: Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Mauritius, Namibia, South Africa, Tunisia, and Zambia. More and more NRENs – especially the Level 6 NRENs 8 (Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, and recently Zambia) – are exploring offering additional services; also in support of data sharing and transfer. The following NRENs already allow for running data-intensive applications and sharing of high-end computing assets, bio-modelling and computation on high-performance/ supercomputers: KENET (Kenya), TENET (South Africa), RENU (Uganda), ZAMREN (Zambia), EUN (Egypt) and ARN (Algeria). Fifteen higher education training institutions from eight African countries (Botswana, Benin, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Sudan, and Tanzania) have been identified as offering formal courses on data science. In addition to formal degrees, a number of international short courses have been developed and free international online courses are also available as an option to build capacity and integrate as part of curricula. The small number of higher education or research intensive institutions offering data science is however insufficient, and there is a desperate need for more training in data science. The CODATA-RDA Schools of Research Data Science aim at addressing the continental need for foundational data skills across all disciplines, along with training conducted by The Carpentries 9 programme (specifically Data Carpentry 10 ). Thus far, CODATA-RDA schools in collaboration with AOSP, integrating content from Data Carpentry, were presented in Rwanda (in 2018), and during17-29 June 2019, in Ethiopia. Awareness regarding Open Science (including Open Data) is evident through the 12 Open Science-related Open Access/Open Data/Open Science declarations and agreements endorsed or signed by African governments; 200 Open Access journals from Africa registered on the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ); 174 Open Access institutional research repositories registered on openDOAR (Directory of Open Access Repositories); 33 Open Access/Open Science policies registered on ROARMAP (Registry of Open Access Repository Mandates and Policies); 24 data repositories registered with the Registry of Data Repositories (re3data.org) (although the pilot project identified 66 research data repositories); and one data repository assigned the CoreTrustSeal. Although this is a start, far more needs to be done to align African data curation and research practices with global standards. Funding to conduct research remains a challenge. African researchers mostly fund their own research, and there are little incentives for them to make their research and accompanying data sets openly accessible. Funding and peer recognition, along with an enabling research environment conducive for research, are regarded as major incentives. The landscape report concludes with a number of concerns towards sharing research data openly, as well as challenges in terms of Open Data policy, ICT infrastructure supportive of data sharing, capacity building, lack of skills, and the need for incentives. Although great progress has been made in terms of Open Science and Open Data practices, more awareness needs to be created and further advocacy efforts are required for buy-in from African governments. A federated African Open Science Platform (AOSP) will not only encourage more collaboration among researchers in addressing the SDGs, but it will also benefit the many stakeholders identified as part of the pilot phase. The time is now, for governments in Africa, to acknowledge the important role of science in general, but specifically Open Science and Open Data, through developing and aligning the relevant policies, investing in an ICT infrastructure conducive for data sharing through committing funding to making NRENs financially sustainable, incentivising open research practices by scientists, and creating opportunities for more scientists and stakeholders across all disciplines to be trained in data management.
