NUST Shifts Focus to Market-Driven Innovation & Economic Impact!

The National University of Science and Technology (NUST) has launched a strategic push to move beyond theoretical research and accolades toward commercialisation and national industrialisation. At a landmark **Intellectual Property, Innovation, and Commercialisation Workshop** co-hosted with the Companies and Intellectual Property of Zimbabwe (CIPZ) at the Technovation Centre, Vice-Chancellor Prof. Mqhele Enock-Hershal Dlodlo emphasised that NUST is prioritising income generation over awards to directly boost the economy, while Acting Pro-Vice Chancellor (IBD) Prof. Zephania Dhlamini urged researchers to collaborate early with end-users and policymakers to drive vertical technology transfer in support of Zimbabwe's Vision 2030. Leadership also commended NUST Councillor, Dr. Martha Chikowore, for conceptualising the workshop, reinforcing the university's commitment to taking breakthroughs out of the laboratory and straight into the marketplace!

The National University of Science and Technology (NUST) this week successfully hosted its Mid-Year Strategy Review Workshop, a high-level full-day engagement dedicated to evaluating progress, refining institutional goals, and strengthening the university’s operational roadmap for the second half of the year.

The sessions began with a focus on Ministry Expectations and Policy Alignment, ensuring the university stays fully compliant with national funding frameworks, policy directives, and broader higher education goals. Participants then moved into an Environmental Scan and Risk Assessment, carefully analysing external opportunities and operational challenges that could impact university objectives.

A major component of the day involved Institutional Performance Reviews, featuring deep-dive plenary sessions that evaluated progress across core academic, research, innovation, and administrative programs during the first half of the year. To secure long-term financial stability and infrastructure growth, attendees also engaged in dedicated discussions on Third Income Stream Projects, focusing on commercialisation efforts and alternative revenue generation.

The workshop concluded with a Reviewed Annual Plan, where group work finalised recalibrated targets and strategies to deliver impactful results and accelerate Education 5.0 delivery.

NUST Mentors Future Engineers at the 2026 ZIE National Bridge Building Competition.

We are incredibly proud to highlight the National University of Science and Technology (NUST)'s role in facilitating the 2026 National Bridge Building Competition, an event hosted by the Zimbabwe Institution of Engineers (ZIE) at St. John's College on August 1, 2026. As a driving force in STEM education, NUST was right on the ground supporting this fantastic ZIE initiative, with our dedicated team providing essential on-site academic mentorship and technical guidance to high school learners across all 20 competing teams representing Arundel School, Cyrene High School, Dominican Convent High School (Harare), Eagles Christian College, Girls College, Hellenic Academy, Kutama College, Midlands Christian College, Peterhouse, St. John's College, and Tichakunda High School. By facilitating the testing and evaluation of the model bridges, NUST reinforced its ongoing commitment to Education 5.0, experiential learning, and community engagement, exposing high school participants to real-world structural problem-solving and industry-aligned standards.

The level of innovation and practical application of engineering principles displayed this year was phenomenal across all entrants, with model bridges being rigorously evaluated based on their mass, aesthetic appeal, and ultimate weight-bearing capacity. Taking top honours was Midlands Christian College, securing first place with an impressive overall score of 129.3, driven by a bridge mass of 219.15g, an aesthetics score of 22, and a massive total failure load of 117.54 kg. Following closely in second place was St. John's College with an overall score of 109.1, featuring a bridge mass of 193.73g, the highest aesthetics score of the day at 26, and an impressive failure load of 80.54 kg. Rounding out the top three was Arundel in third place, earning an overall score of 106.9 from a bridge mass of 211.24g, an aesthetics score of 20, and a solid total failure load of 91.75 kg.

A massive congratulations to our top two teams—Midlands Christian College 2 and St. John's College 1—who have now earned the immense honour of representing Zimbabwe at the regional Bridge Building Competition (BCC), hosted by the South African Institution of Civil Engineering (SAICE) in Pretoria, South Africa, from August 21 to 22, 2026! Join us in congratulating all the participating schools for their hard work, creativity, and engineering excellence as we wish our top two teams the very best as they prepare to take their talents to the regional stage and fly the Zimbabwean flag high! 🇿🇼
