The Innovation Village
Everyday, we take heed from our own advice to look for ways to deliver impactful solutions for grand challenges by leveraging innovation, entrepreneurship and technology.
Our overall goal is to create a destination that grows companies that matter (Startups, SMEs and Purpose-Driven Enterprises) and centered around solving our biggest industry and community challenges.
Collectively, we are a convergence of Network, Talent, Capital and Physical Assets leading Uganda and the region into industry 4.0.
We are home to Uganda’s most connected community of entrepreneurs.
The Innovation Village is a destination entrepreneurs call home. We purpose to deliberately grow innovation by putting in place a platform that challenges assumption, ignites thought and questions status quo. As a launchpad for innovators, we bring together partners, startups, investors and researchers to act as one force for good.
Our Programs and initiatives capture new value from digital-creating products, experiences, and businesses. We bring together a community where people can design, prototype, test, scale and launch imaginative and enterprising ideas together.
Our innovation programs are built by taking what we know, building upon what we know works and humbly putting down what doesn’t, growing in scale, ambition and focus.
Our initiatives are driven by a desire to
effect social change through collaboration
between various stakeholders.
We are an ecosystem builder at the heart of an interconnected network of entrepreneurs, academia, private sector, government, investors, believers and doers deepening the application of technology in powering social economic prosperity.
We promote an innovation culture that embraces experimentation, constantly evaluates and recognizes failure as something to be learned from.
Everything we do is built on four fundamental pillars – Place, Innovation as a Service, Ventures, Data and Technology Services to develop products and services for the ecosystem.
