Uganda Developer Summit

As a final reflection on this year’s #UGDevSummit, we urge the tech community in Uganda and Africa at large to focus on creating homegrown digital solutions. Like @timothymusoke, CEO of Laboremus and Board Chair of Refactory, we recognise that Africa has unique societal obstacles which can only be sustainably addressed by those who experience them. Thank you once more to all our partners and summit attendees; may we innovate for years to come. #Engage #Learn #Connect #Tech #AfricanTech #Uganda

“Birds of a feather flock together”. This common adage was the inspiration behind our Birds-of-a-Feather sessions at the recent #UGDevSummit where tech enthusiasts interacted in specialised fields. #Engage #Learn #Connect #AfricanTech #OpenSource #DevOps #CyberSecurity #OSCA

My biggest Key Highlight from #UGDevSummit "People are adopting what they call micro credentials - Something short, that works and gets me to work" - @niyimic New tech is showing up every day & to keep up, you have to learn fast (something short) and implement. @ug_devsummit
