Every overnight success founder has scars they don't show.
It never gets easier.
You just get better at surviving the grind.

The Startup Act is on the table. Now, what does implementation mean for Uganda’s entrepreneurs?
A law can set the direction. Its implementation determines how far the ecosystem can go.
At Uganda Innovation Week 2026, we are putting the spotlight on “The Startup Act and the Road to Implementation”, a keynote address by Dr Joshua Mutambi, Commissioner for Processing and Marketing at the @mtic_uganda.
What opportunities will the Act unlock? How will it shape the environment in which startups are built, funded and scaled? And what should founders expect next?
Get the latest insights on the policy framework shaping the future of Uganda’s startup ecosystem.

Growth isn't magic.
It's a scoreboard for thousands of small, boring decisions made daily.
Entrepreneurship isn't a checklist.
It's a journey of discovery, finding real pain and dedicating yourself to solving it.
Quit chasing false signs of success. Focus on what truly matters.

One of the things that gives me fulfillment in this career of mine is doing a surgery free of charge that, in a private facility, would have caused bankruptcy.
Today was one of those days. Who would have thought that chopping firewood could be so risky? That a piece of stick can fly and shutter your eyelids? No one thinks about that.
My patient was one of those. A piece of her lid was blown away in that force leaving a defect she was embarrassed to walk with unveiled. How her eye survived that injury still puzzles me.
As I slowly and carefully connected the shattered lid back in place with Vicryl sutures, I remembered that I didn’t know how to do that before going to India…..
Surgery is indeed an art. When I saw my finished works, I was amazed. I can’t wait to see her smile tomorrow.

In 2024, SUMIC IT Solutions Ltd (@SumicUg) became one of the pioneer companies supported under UJ-CONNECT. On 10 November 2026, I had the honour of contributing to that same initiative as one of five jury members at the UJ-CONNECT Entrepreneurs’ Demo Day in Nakawa, Kampala.
This was a particularly meaningful moment for me.
UJ-CONNECT opened an important door in SUMIC IT’s journey into international markets. It helped us establish relationships with Japanese companies, explore business opportunities and build collaborations that continue today. The foundation laid in 2024 remains an important part of our growing relationship with Japan.
Returning as a judge was an opportunity to give back and support other Ugandan innovators taking their own steps towards building sustainable businesses.
Across the 8️⃣ (eight) participating teams, we assessed ideas with attention to commercial viability, innovation, scalability and the teams’ ability to execute. Behind each pitch was an effort to solve a practical problem in our communities.
Congratulations to the four teams awarded a combined USD $6,500 in grants:
1️⃣ Solar Care: for automated solar panel cleaning.
2️⃣ HydroGuard: for a firefighting robot.
3️⃣ Zapher Farms: for offline AI-powered crop disease detection.
4️⃣ EcoSwap Energies: for solar-powered battery-swapping stations for electric motorcycles.
To every participating team: keep listening to customers, testing your assumptions and improving your solutions. The work you do after the competition will determine how far your innovation goes.
My sincere appreciation goes to @MoICT_Ug, @JicaUganda, the Embassy of Japan in Uganda, @UICTug and @innovationhubug.
I also acknowledge Hon. Joyce Nabbosa Ssebugwawo, Dr. @azawedde, Mr. Yoshida Norimasa, Mr. Hideshi Yamashita, Dr. Fredrick Edward Kitoogo, Mr. Ambrose Bakwasiibwe, Mr. Gastervas Rutwara and the programme’s organisers, trainers and mentors for supporting this journey.
It was a privilege to serve alongside my fellow judges: Mr. Watanabe Shimpei, Ms. @FlaviaOpio, Mr. Emmanuel Twesigye and Mr. Keneth Twesigye.

If you're waiting for absolute certainty before launching, you'll be last to market.
Business is built by those who commit while still uncomfortable.
