What in the World is Uganda Innovation Week

It’s that time of year again!!


This November 22-24, over 1,000 people will meet in Kampala for the annual Innovation Week event hosted by Startup Uganda. Previously known as Kampala Innovation Week, the event has now scaled up to include participation from across the country and consequently rebranded to Uganda Innovation Week (UIW), with a focus on the entire country. This innovation event is geared towards bringing together all actors within the startup ecosystem this year and promises more inclusivity, a wider reach, and a general country-wide movement.


The event is filled with workshops led by industry experts, inspiring events, and fun experiences. It gives you an unprecedented opportunity to network and learn about new business ideas and trends.


Over the last two years of the global pandemic, one thing has become incredibly clear. People crave connection. Whether that’s networking at an industry event with like-minded entrepreneurs or cheering on your favorite team amongst thousands of fans. We also learned that people are willing to get really creative in order to make that happen.


Historically, industry conferences and events have been a place of connection, learning, and inspiration. All of which is still possible. During our annual Innovation Week last year, we learned that engagement is possible at virtual events with over 700 attendees and more than 100,000 organic reach.


If you're looking to have new experiences and grow your expertise, here's why Uganda Innovation Week 2022 should be on your calendar.
