🚀 From 10 hours to 3 hours. That’s what engineering impact looks like. This past weekend, we officially launched the transformed Katebe Farm in Lyantonde District—and this wasn’t just another event. It was a live demonstration of how engineering can unlock agro-industrialisation in Uganda. Through the @STIsecretariat led by Dr. Monica Musenero Masanza, the Engineering Development and Innovation Centre (EDiC) implemented practical solutions that are already changing how this farm operates. Here’s what that impact looks like: 🔧 Pasteurization time reduced from ~10 hours → ~3 hours 🥛 Production capacity increased to 5,000 litres per cycle 🔥 Installation of a steam boiler + biomass burner for efficient, sustainable energy 📈 Stronger value addition—turning raw milk into high-quality yoghurt with longer shelf life This isn’t theory. This is engineering solving real problems at production level. And the ripple effects? 👉 More demand for milk from local farmers 👉 Reduced losses and improved efficiency 👉 Higher-value products reaching the market 👉 A working model of agro-processing transformation that can be replicated nationwide Huge appreciation to @DrMusenero for championing innovation that actually reaches the ground, and to the EDiC engineering team for delivering solutions that move us from concept to industry. Also great to see strong support from stakeholders on the ground—including the host, Gen. Kale Kayihura, and the wider farming community. This is how we build: engineering → production → value addition → economic growth. Let’s scale this. 📌 What other sectors do you think need this kind of engineering intervention next? #EDiC #STIOP #Industrialisation #AgroProcessing #Engineering #Innovation #ValueAddition #Uganda #Manufacturing #STI #EconomicTransformation #FoodSystems

Our esteemed guest of honor has arrived! We are honored to welcome @DrMusenero the Minister of @STIsecretariat whose work is driving the country’s digital transformation and fostering a culture of innovation. Her presence at this event highlights the importance of collaboration between government, industry, and startups in advancing technology solutions. Through her leadership, initiatives are being supported that empower partners, share knowledge, and ensure that innovations reach the people who need them most. We thank her for joining us today and for championing the future of science and technology in Uganda. 🌟

Many schools are creating social media content featuring their pupils and students, mainly for marketing and visibility. While this trend continues to grow, here’s a simple piece of advice: ensure that students or their guardians sign media release forms that clearly grant permission to film and publish content online. Not every parent is comfortable with their child being featured on social media, and some may take legal action against the school if proper consent has not been obtained. Be woke! #ChildProtectionPolicy

Entertainment break A Ugandan event isn’t complete without a traditional dance performance. #InnovationShowcase #DeepTech #UgandaTech #DigitalFuture

Innovation in motion. Innovators are stepping forward to share bold ideas, practical solutions, and homegrown technologies built for real-world impact. Each presentation reflects the creativity, resilience, and ambition shaping Uganda’s digital future, proof that meaningful progress is driven by people who dare to build. This is more than a showcase. It’s a glimpse into what’s possible when innovation is given space to grow. 🚀💡 #InnovationInMotion #UgandaTech #DeepTech #BuildersOfTomorrow #InnovationEcosystem

🇺🇬 Shaping the foundation of Uganda’s digital future. Today marks the official launch of the Uganda Sovereign Cloud, a strategic collaboration between @STIsecretariat (Industry 4.0+ Bureau) and @AbqCloud (@roketelkomug), advancing national digital sovereignty through secure local data infrastructure, trusted cloud services, and ecosystem development. EDiC is proud to host this landmark launch at our Deep Tech Centre of Excellence — convening government, industry, and innovation stakeholders to strengthen Uganda’s digital backbone. 🔐☁️🚀 #UgandaSovereignCloud #DigitalSovereignty #DeepTech #InnovationEcosystem #EDiC

The week is off to a great start following a productive engagement with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) team as we explored how digital transformation can translate into real economic outcomes for Uganda. The conversation focused on strengthening Industry 4.0 and ICT-driven development, linking AI, advanced manufacturing, engineering capacity, and commercialization to national priorities, including Uganda’s ambition to grow the economy to USD 500 billion by 2040. Key highlights included: •Building context-appropriate ICT and digital solutions that work in low-connectivity and remote environments •Scaling local manufacturing across electronics, mechanical engineering, and additive manufacturing •Treating AI as a skill, not just a tool, and applying it to sectors such as tourism, healthcare, and education •Developing a strong industrial and ICT ecosystem through centers of excellence, university research, and industry partnerships •Exploring AI-enabled access to global markets, including a potential Japan-focused pilot around localization, video AI, and annotation services Encouraging alignment on the role of ICT, innovation, and partnerships with Japan in driving human capital development, technology transfer, and sustainable industrial growth. As EDiC, we look forward to more promising collaboration with JICA and our partners in shaping Uganda’s innovation and industrial future. #Industry4.0 #ICT #DigitalTransformation #DigitalEconomy #AI #InnovationEcosystem #Manufacturing

The Fuutu Soljers of the Knowledge Economy Congratulate His Excellency @KagutaMuseveni for the Massive Win. With your assured wise leadership, the stage is now set for the #QualitativeLeap. #ScienceinAction. @KiiraMotors @NsteiSep @STIsecretariat

Achieves: The impact of science to economic transformation, ensuring productivity acceleration, import substitution and export promotions via multi sectoral structures. President Yoweri Museveni highlights the key scientific thematic areas of coordination. #ScienceInAction

Watch: Results evident in the short span of just a few years have been made able through a deliberate and intentional structure of the National Science, Technology and Innovation ecosystem coordination at the helm of leadership. #ScienceInAction

Innovation doesn’t become an economy by accident. We’re celebrating @STIsecretariat turning Ugandan ideas into economic output, but when creators & digital workers start earning, the 1st GOVT touchpoint shouldn’t be compliance, but, enablement 📌 #ScienceInAction| #STIUganda

Let’s make it count! Happy new year to you all🎊✨ May 2026 be filled with abundance and favor upon you and yours. #HappyNewYear2026

Mary’s born child, Jesus Christ was born today!!! Merry Christmas to you all. May you be blessed abundantly ♥️🎊🌲
