To everyone that attended the 8th edition of the KTA Symposium, I really want to hear from you.
What were your key takeaways from the sessions and discussions?

[Asmahaney Saad ( Partner KTA Advocates) @asmahaney12]

Consistency. Sacrifice. Community.
That’s the story behind the success of the KTA Annual Law Symposium.

Eight years in, under the steady leadership of @KennethMuhangi this platform has grown organically into a go-to space for meaningful partnerships, policy and law reform advocacy, and innovation.

We are deeply grateful to God, our event Partners, the CELPii team, @ktaadvocates, our sponsors, speakers and everyone who has stood with us on this journey.

As we look ahead to the 9th edition in 2026, we’re excited to keep building an even bigger and stronger community. Don’t hesitate to join us,the best is yet to come! 🎉✅

If you missed this year's @KTASymposium like me, we can still catch up next year as it is yearly, the Symposium convenes policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders to discuss how Uganda can leverage IP and technology to meet the Sustainable Development Goals. Cheers @kta_law

📍I checked in at @IMChallengeug for yesterday’s #KTASymposium2025 with shapers from the Kampala Hub.

💡A reminder of the power of dialogue and innovation. AI, digital trade, and the creative economy aren’t just buzzwords they’re building blocks .

[Kenneth Muhangi @xcenneth]

Officially closed the 8th Edition of the KTA Symposium. I will leave you with one message: We need radical innovation.
If traditional solutions are failing, then it’s time for bold, new thinking to dismantle barriers.

Our deepest gratitude to all our partners, sponsors, coordinators, and service providers who made this possible. Mwebale nyo! 🙏🏾

Are we reaching the end of human truth detection? Because soon, only AI will be able to tell real from fake. We unpacked this and more in today’s panel discussion.

AI reflects global biases, but human values remain local. Africa must localize tools, protect original voices, and ensure ethics lead innovation, not the other way around. #KTASymposium2025

[The KTA Annual Symposium @KTASymposium]

The Fireside Chat on AI, Misinformation & Governance has been incredibly insightful. The panel unpacked how artificial intelligence is reshaping truth, democracy, and human judgment.

[The KTA Annual Symposium @KTASymposium]

The answer? Critical thinking. Beyond digital literacy, we need human curiosity; the ability to question, verify, and understand before we share. It starts at home and in schools.

[The KTA Annual Symposium @KTASymposium]

The call: We must rethink how creative work is valued and funded. Inclusive metrics, context-sensitive funding, and recognition of local processes can unlock Uganda’s creative economy. #KTASymposium2025

[The KTA Annual Symposium @KTASymposium]

The World Café session on “Creative Economy, Financing & Measuring Impact” at #KTASymposium2025, we explored why many creatives struggle to access funding.
Key insight: Business readiness is just as important as creative talent.

[The KTA Annual Symposium @KTASymposium]

Western funding models often don’t fit Uganda’s creative context. Local realities, seasonal cycles, and informal processes must be considered. Language gaps between creatives & funders also hinder support.

Purpose to be early adopters in AI use!

@arwakatungu of @tymshq encourages us to be radical when it comes to what we can do with this technology. Do not wait for policy !

“We have 13k case backlog in Uganda courts! Let’s do something about that.”

[Kenneth Muhangi @xcenneth]

AI is here, and there are some Ugandans who are being radical about it. Props to @arwakatungu and the team at @tymshq.
