Growing Botswana together takes many forms, and the latest is a five-year Memorandum of Understanding between the Botswana Investment and Trade Centre (BITC) and the Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST) to turn research, investment and youth talent into real economic growth.

The MoU was signed by BITC Chief Executive Officer Keletsositse Olebile and BIUST Acting Vice Chancellor Professor Elisha Shemang, bringing together two institutions built for this moment. BITC drives investment, exports and enterprise as custodian of Brand Botswana. BIUST builds the knowledge, research and human capital behind Botswana's next generation of innovators. Together, they are positioning the country as a serious regional hub for science, technology and innovation.
