🎓Congratulations @anslembagabo and @jovin_raymon Founder and co-founder of foot and mouth detection from our #GraduateInnovationProgram (Cohort 1), on graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. The team is developing a machine learning–powered solution for the early detection of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) in cattle. Through a simple mobile application, farmers can capture and upload images of their cows and receive instant predictions indicating possible infection. By enabling early detection, this innovation has the potential to reduce disease spread, safeguard livestock and protect farmers from significant financial loss. Graduating with a degree and a solution that creates impact is truly commendable. 👏 #MIICStartups #GIPCohort1 #Mak76thGraduation @Makerere @MaKCoCIS

#Throwback to the Graduate Innovation Program Journey! Looking back at the journey of our #GraduateInnovationProgram, we invited students from across @Makerere with bold ideas, strong final-year projects, and the passion to innovate. From these, we selected teams with the highest potential and guided them through an intensive innovation journey. Throughout the program, teams received mentorship, training, and hands-on support and many integrating AI-driven approaches to tackle real challenges in health, agriculture, education, technology, and more. By the end of the program, we had 34 student teams with functional prototypes, showing just how much young innovators can achieve when given the right support. And this is not the end. These teams will continue receiving mentorship, resources, and incubation support as they move toward building fully viable startups. #GraduateInnovationProgram @Makerere @mofpedU @MakCoBAMS @MakCoCIS @MakCEDAT @MakCoNAS @MakerereCHUSS @MakerereCHS @MakCAES @MaKCEES
