Africa’s leading innovation scholar and Harvard professor, Calestous Juma, has sadly passed away. His work has been hugely influential in shaping policies towards innovation as a driver of economic development in Africa.

.@Calestous was a tireless champion for economic and social development in Africa. His legacy will live on through the fruits of his many years of work as an impassioned scholar, fearless advocate and mentor to students and policymakers around the world. https://t.co/YEHMa4iXTJ
