The University Innovation Pod (UniPod) is a unique initiative located in a top technical public university with the objective of supporting youth innovation at this critical time in their life cycle.
The rationale for placing the UniPod within a university rather than as a stand-alone entity is that it would thus link to the corpus of research and knowledge that is already in place in the university, through its faculty who are likely to be experts in a number of technical fields. Of the 13 Unipods been established by the UNDP Africa Regional Bureau in Africa.

We proud that University of Juba, is the first to officially launch and also the first prior to launching to kickstart operations with personnel and a structure for Innovation to thrive within a university community. The Unipod will offer a range of programs, from Innovative products and solutions ready for market, policy-oriented developments that spur innovation and various customized capacity building programs that will make innovation thrive in South Sudan. The programs covered in the Unipod will also create mentorship opportunities for students as interns and offer resources that will equip our students with the skills and mindset needed to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.
