Uganda Developer Summit

Propelling Uganda’s tech industry by catalyzing a dynamic tech community. 🧬 Engage. Learn. Connect. 18th - 19th July 2024 Convened by @refactory_acad

[Uganda Developer Summit @ug_devsummit]

As a final reflection on this year’s #UGDevSummit, we urge the tech community in Uganda and Africa at large to focus on creating homegrown digital solutions.

Like @timothymusoke, CEO of Laboremus and Board Chair of Refactory, we recognise that Africa has unique societal obstacles which can only be sustainably addressed by those who experience them.

Thank you once more to all our partners and summit attendees; may we innovate for years to come.

My biggest Key Highlight from #UGDevSummit

"People are adopting what they call micro credentials - Something short, that works and gets me to work" - @niyimic

New tech is showing up every day & to keep up, you have to learn fast (something short) and implement.
