EDiC

The problem isn’t talent. It’s exposure gap. Too many brilliant engineers, fabricators, technicians, and innovators leave school without ever touching industrial-grade equipment, solving real manufacturing challenges, or working inside a production ecosystem. That gap is exactly why the EDiC Engineering Boot Camp exists. This is not another classroom program. It is an industry-driven engineering experience designed to bridge the space between technical knowledge and industrial application. At EDiC, we believe industrial transformation starts with building practical capability. That means creating engineers who can design, prototype, fabricate, troubleshoot, maintain, innovate, and manufacture solutions that respond to Uganda’s real needs. The Boot Camp directly supports EDiC’s mission of: ⚙️ Strengthening local manufacturing capabilities. ⚙️ Building industry-ready technical talent. ⚙️ Accelerating innovation commercialization. ⚙️ Creating a generation of solution-oriented engineers. Participants will work in a live manufacturing environment alongside practicing engineers using advanced industrial systems, tools, and processes, the kind of exposure that transforms potential into competence. Because the future of engineering belongs to people who can BUILD. If you are serious about manufacturing, product development, fabrication, industrial systems, or deep-tech innovation, this is your lane. Applications are now open. 📅 Deadline: 12 June 2026 📧 Apply: send your CV/portfolio to upskilling@edic.go.ug) 🌐 visit edic.go.ug for more info #EDiC #EngineeringUgandasFuture #Industrialization #ManufacturingUG #EngineeringBootCamp #Innovation #SkillsDevelopment #MadeInUganda #Engineering #Fabrication #STEM #ProductDevelopment #TechnicalSkills #DeepTech #IndustrialTransformation

Hon. Godfrey Aine Kaguta, commonly known as Sodo, yesterday paid a visit to the EDiC Deep Tech Center of Excellence, where he toured the facility and took time to engage with the groundbreaking innovations being developed by Uganda’s emerging technology and engineering ecosystem. He expressed his appreciation for the Center’s role in advancing deep-tech innovation and strengthening local capacity to drive industrial transformation and economic growth, and pledged his support towards the Centre’s continued growth. We were delighted to have him pass by, a testament to EDiC’s growing presence and impact in shaping Uganda’s innovation landscape.

STI Highlights The Science, Technology and Innovation Secretariat continues to drive transformative community and national development through enterprise-led household wealth creation initiatives. Through the Busoga Sub-Regional Strategic Plan, the Secretariat is empowering communities to identify and invest in high-impact enterprises that can increase incomes, create jobs, and accelerate economic transformation. A key milestone was the successful engagement and validation process with traditional and religious leaders, whose participation strengthens local ownership and ensures that the strategy is grounded in community priorities. This collaborative approach positions the Busoga Strategic Plan as a catalyst for sustainable prosperity, resilient livelihoods, and a Qualitative Economic Leap for households across the subregion. #STIHighlights #BusogaStrategicPlan #WealthCreation #ProductivityAcceleration #EconomicTransformation #QualitativeEconomicLeap
