Kail presents exclusive benefits to the university and its stakeholders ;

1. Collaboration Portal (local and international): The collaborations herein considered include Public-Private Partnerships, Research Partnerships, Project Partnerships and Funding opportunities. The opportunity here is to allow external stakeholders to connect quickly and initiate potential beneficiary projects.
2. Research and Innovation: One of the single core functions of the university is to focus on research that makes a meaningful contribution to economic development. Innovation research uptake requires a close connection between industry and research institutions, and research sponsorships by the industry are necessary to achieve it. A special consideration for a space for such engagements is crucial. Therefore, we have designated a portion of the mobile app to allow stakeholders to engage on issues relating to patenting and copyright-related to create a favorable entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem. This engagement will allow stakeholders to initiate quick conversations that could lead to potential innovation transfer from research institutions to commercialization.
3. Jobs and Career: The part offers opportunities to both the industry and students alike. Key internships and job opportunities will be shared with users. The industry may request specific students for internships, and this arrangement will be made for them. This is to deepen the relationship with the world of work. Again, industries will share job placement availabilities, and students can apply directly.
4. Industry Database: The database part of the platform has still been organized to accommodate categorization; specifically, the sector-by-sector organization of the various companies have been done to allow easy search for individual companies.
5. Publication: The last component of the platform is looking to capitalize on the user-friendliness of the platform to disseminate research findings and share events and news with the world at large.
