WELCOME
MESSAGE
AKWABA/ WELCOME
I wish to welcome you to the very first edition of the International
Conference on “Technology, R&D, Education and the
Economy” (TREE for Africa 2018), sponsored by the Jesuit University
Institute (CERAP/IDDH) and the European Alliance for Innovation
(EAI). TREE 2018 is taking place in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, with the full
support and sponsorship of the Ministry of Higher Education and
Scientific Research, of Côte d’Ivoire Tourism (CT) and of the local
scientific community. So it is my pleasure at the onset of this welcoming
message to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Minister of Higher
Education and Scientific Research,professor BAKAYOKO-LY Ramata,
as well as the Director General of Côte d’Ivoire Tourism, Mr Jean-Marie
SOMET who both understand the importance of science, technology and
education as means of sustainable and shared prosperity.
Africa is a land of paradox. While the continent has very substantial reserves of arable land, water,
hydropower and mineral wealth, most countries in Africa rank among the poorest in the world and African
economies are plagued with high unemployment and poverty rate. At reflection, such a situation is
understandable once one realizes that in the current knowledge economy what matters is no longer raw
material but knowledge that creates value. Given this, the Technology, R&D, Education and Economy
(TREE) Conferences aim at providing a space for an Africa centered international debate about how science
and technology could bring about sustainable development through relevant education. TREE is an
interdisciplinary conference that favors empirical research and mathematical model building for sustainable
development. Although the primary focus of the conference is the sustainable development and prosperity
for Africa, best practices from other parts of the world are most welcome as a way to enrich the debate.
TREE explores how innovation helps create added value and insures development and how African
countries can build on traditional knowledge in various sectors to develop frugal innovation: in agriculture,
health and medicine, nutrition, arts, handicraft, etc. To that extent, the main theme would explore the
linkages between innovation, Development and traditional knowledge. Topics that would then be covered
include innovation and food security, drug resilience, education, cybersecurity, governance and corporate
social responsibility.
At this point, please allow me to officially welcome both of our keynotes speakers, Professor Walter Park,
Chair of the PhD program at American University (Washington DC), Professor Mammo Muchie, DST-NRF
Research Chair at Tswane University of Technology in South Africa. They are joined by an incredible and
talented group of researchers from a dozen different countries: Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Malawi, Burkina Faso,
Niger, Nigeria, Ethiopia, the United States of America, Italy, Spain, etc.
To all of you who are visiting Côte d’Ivoire for the first time, I hope that you will also take advantage to
discover the beauty of Côte d’Ivoire, this wonderful land of hospitality and to appreciate the charm of its
people with the help of Côte d’Ivoire Tourism.
Once again, thank you very much for attending this conference. I look forward to your contribution and I
wish to all of us a very successful and fruitful conference! Thank you!

From the desk of
The General MANAGER
of Côte d’Ivoire Tourisme
AKWABA
Given the very strong competition that characterizes the
sector of tourism, visible innovation is characterized by new
technologies, especially in the area of virtual and computer
technology.
However, innovation is so multifaced that it covers diverse
innovative areas. Hence, this international conference of
“Technology, R&D, Education and Economy (TREE 2018 for
Africa) that allows a good number of visitors to discover the
“destination Côte d’Ivoire” is in line with the long overdue
reflexion on the different forms of innovation, namely in
tourism.
As a matter of fact, this international conference is an
opportunity to innovate, simply through a better grasp of
traditional knowledge, so to speak. It is worth mentioning
without mimetism, a priori or clichés that traditional
knowledge is not yet sufficiently explored. It however, represents, particularly for Côte
d’Ivoire, this land of hospitality, new opportunities that should encourage the structured
development of different types of tourism: memory tourism, cultural tourism, religious tourism,
environmental tourism, etc… sustainable tourism with its various flavors such as solidarity
tourism, fair tourism, tourism that is friendly to the local people, to the socio-cultural values, to
the environment and to the planet.
So, thank you for the opportunity that you have given the National Office of Tourism to be part
of this conference. Thank you for providing us with solutions to create the structural conditions
that would improve competitiveness everywhere. Last but not least, thank you for challenging us
to think differently and creatively and thus to discover new frontiers.

Title: Innovation, creativity, and intellectual property rights
Abstract
This paper provides empirical evidence on the impact of copyright strength on the incentives of U.S. multinational
firms to transfer technologies and invest abroad. Copyright protection in the host countries has a positive
association with foreign direct investment and licensing in the information industries. The effect is stronger for
firms that have greater shares of copyright sales in the domestic (U.S.) market, indicating that foreign copyright
protection matters relatively more to those industries that demonstrate greater dependence on copyright protection
at home. Expansions in the size of a host country’s creative industry encourages U.S. multinational firms in
complementary industries (that is, industries beyond the traditional copyright sector) to expand their capital stock
and research and development (R&D). This study shows that copyright regimes have the potential to spur
industrial development and facilitate the technological development of developing countries.

Title: R & D Application to Apply Traditional Knowledge for
African Integrated and Sustainable Development
Abstract
The traditional knowledge resources that emerged from ancient societies like Africa’s ancient Khmet,
Egypt, Ethiopia, Persia and China have combined often philosophies, values, ethics and wisdom that
have passed the test of time. These knowledge approaches that imbed culture, values, ethics, principles,
caring, sharing, nostalgia, emotion and all other variables that enrich the quality of being and the
ontological density of life have been rendered shallow by the intellectual dominance of a very
instrumental, positivist, externalising and separating knowledge production approach where the observer
and the observed are seen to occupy different positions in the knowledge creation processes. The
observer is external to the observed and what is observed is often recognised to be free from the
thoughts, recognition and interrelatedness of the observed matter or reality of observation. This type of
knowledge production displaced the rich knowledge process with ways of knowing that included
revelation, ethics, ontology, epistemology and axiology that defy one plus one is two. The traditional
knowledge shared logic that is not linear or instrumental expressing knowledge with a kind of
epistemic virtue that opposed epistemic vice, adding often to knowledge production deontological,
consequential and virtue ethics opening the space for deeper knowledge content that can be read as
inclusive and even innovative.
There is much indigenous/traditional knowledge that exists in Africa. Most of the African people live
in rural areas where they use traditional medicine. There is a need to excavate this rich traditional
knowledge and integrate it with modern science, technology, and engineering and innovation
knowledge. Currently, there is a huge gap between R & D driven science and technology knowledge
and tradition driven indigenous knowledge. There is a need to integrate these two knowledge worlds.
The traditional knowledge has to benefit from R & D and intellectual property rights protection just like
the modern science and technology and innovation based knowledge. It must be included systematically
in the education curriculum and system. Those that promote R & D driven science and technology
knowledge have to also appreciate and value the rich traditional knowledge to open the possibilities for
the direct application of traditional knowledge resources in promoting African integrated and
sustainable development.
The keynote will address this gap that currently exists by finding practical methods to include traditional
knowledge by applying R & D and intellectual property protection with modern science and technology
knowledge to enrich and diversify the knowledge economy at a time when the world is in the 4th
industrial revolution. If we find novel ways of applying R & D to traditional knowledge from Africa’s
rich agriculture, medicine, water, arable land, raw materials and minerals, the opportunity to find a high
speed highway to be part of the 4th industrial Revolutions’ knowledge and digital society may transpire
and Africa can enter into the knowledge with its own synthesis of both traditional and modern
knowledge.
