CERT was established with a vision to transform BUK into entrepreneurially minded university where students and staff of the university community are motivated to churn out new knowledge and ideas that provide solutions to problems of society. The Centre provides a place where motivated staff and students are counseled, mentored and supported to grow ideas into  concepts, prototypes, models and eventually into products/services ready for commercialization; and thereby creating spin-offs, attracting funding and licensing its inventions to existing companies. The Centre provides full range entrepreneurship education, support services for students, and for general university community in convenient locations that includes: university hubs, studios, laboratories, incubation Centre and the university Accelerator. The Centre help facilitate the interaction between entrepreneurs and existing Resources Providers and provides in-depth assistance and practical models for every stage of idea development from concept evaluation through start-up, growth, expansion, renewal and beyond.

The Centre would also help nurture, develop and encourage all forms of entrepreneurship. It encourages and support women entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, media entrepreneurship and technology driven entrepreneurship. The Centre would also facilitate the development of new business start-ups, nascent entrepreneurship and women economic empowerment. It also controls and manage the university hub, incubation Centre and accelerator and a number of skills acquisition activities in various units in the university. A key function of the incubation process is to help students and the university community hunt and search for a new and promising business idea, nurture it, patent/copyright it and prepare it for commercialization; and eventual spin-off. The Centre will assume the responsibility of linking students with financiers like government agencies, angel investors, venture capital and crowd funding opportunities.
