At #NSWUg2026, Gen. Katumba Wamala (@GenWamala ) underscored the significance of turning science from theory into real, visible impact in the economy.
He commended the progress being made, noting that what was once discussed as possibility is now becoming reality through practical innovations that people can see, experience, and believe in.
He emphasized the need to take these achievements beyond boardrooms and exhibitions to the wider public, encouraging more Ugandans to witness firsthand what has been built and how innovation is transforming lives. For him, this is how confidence is built, by showing that national vision can translate into tangible results.
Gen. Katumba also highlighted the importance of collective effort, calling on all stakeholders to move together in supporting Uganda’s journey toward economic transformation. His message was clear:
Uganda must remain focused, confident, and united in moving science from research into the real economy, building a future driven by innovation, capability, and shared progress.
