The Centre for Advanced Research on Radical Innovation and Engineering (CARRIE),

Trading in the market place as

Is a Namibian R&D company founded by two mathematics teachers at Khomas High School in Windhoek, in 2014. CARRIE Research Labs is a creative ecosystem designed to be a haven for turning inventions into commercial products.

The first product of CARRIE Research Labs is a complex innovation known as The Maths & Science Clinic System. This innovation is two things in one: It is an educational innovation and an economic sector. The economic sector is known as The Maths & Science Clinic Sector and the educational innovation is known as The Maths & Science Clinic Franchise. The Maths & Science Clinic sector will give birth to a cluster of 15 brand new companies in Namibia. These companies are earmarked to create hundreds of high quality jobs and a steady flow of tax revenue for the Namibian government.

The founders of CARRIE Research Labs - Salomo Mushinga and Ephraim Tutjavi - are still looking for a buyer to buy the Maths & Science Clinic System. Because of the complex nature of this innovation, the Maths & Science Clinic System can only be sold to a government. But any private company that is willing to acquire CARRIE Research Labs is also welcome to do so, provided that such a private company is willing to sign an Agreement with the founders, and this Agreement guarantees that the private company will form a joint-venture partnership with the Namibian government in order to implement the Maths & Science Clinic System. We created the Maths & Science Clinic System as a product that must go to the people - to better the lives of Namibian children and the Namibian citizens. We do not want a private company to acquire the Maths & Science Clinic System and just shelve it. It must reach the people, because it is an innovation desiged to improve people's lives.

The Four Faces of CARRIE Research Labs

The slogan of CARRIE Research Labs is Research, Create & Trade. The slogan indicates the daily operational agenda of CARRIE researchers. It is modelled on the classical linear progression model of innovation beginning with: Theoretical Conception (research) → Technical Invention (create) → Commercial Exploitation (trade).

There is a place for everyone at CARRIE. You just need to know your passion, whether it is in research (scholars and scientists), in creating things (technicians, developers, designers and engineers) or trading (business professionals, salesmen, lawyers and entrepreneurs).
