Leadership that values dialogue and partnership builds stronger nations. Thank you, President Yoweri Museveni, for advancing Uganda’s international relations. Wishing Ambassador William Popp success in his future service.

“Biomedical innovations are often less visible and therefore attract less attention, yet Uganda’s leadership under H.E. President @KagutaMuseveni has continued to support growth in this sector,” Prof. Bruce Kirenga noted. He highlighted challenges including limited commercialization and marketing skills among biomedical scientists, while emphasizing plans to benchmark expertise from scientists like Dr. Misaki Wayengera and collaborate with teams both in Uganda and abroad to strengthen biomedical innovation globally. #BiomedicalInnovationUganda @brucekirenga @DrMusenero @EngJonard @winterzie @PbyakikaPauline @ICER_Global @MWayengera

During the ongoing BIOMIC webinar, Dr. Winters Muttamba highlighted the urgent need to accelerate Uganda’s biomedical innovation ecosystem through structured support, mentorship and commercialization pathways. The BIOMIC Program supported by @GovUganda through @STIsecretariat aims to move innovators beyond prototype stage by strengthening regulatory navigation, market readiness, clinical validation and access to investment opportunities. The initiative is expected to drive locally developed diagnostics, therapeutics and digital health solutions while creating jobs, strengthening health systems and contributing to Uganda’s economic transformation. #BiomicInnovationUganda @winterzie @brucekirenga @DrMusenero @EngJonard @ikimuli2020 @ICER_Global

We were delighted to be joined by Hon. @EngJonard the newly appointed Minister for @STIsecretariat during the BIOMIC webinar. He pledged to foster teamwork and creativity in advancing innovation, noting that “egoistic thinking cannot push innovation” and emphasizing the need to create space for people to think, create and innovate freely. Hon. Asiimwe added that he is currently undertaking a literature survey and learning from the foundation laid by Dr. Monica Musenero, while looking forward to building a strong secretariat and working with the team to drive Africa and the world forward through science and technology. #BIOMICInnovationUG @DrMusenero @brucekirenga @winterzie @MWayengera @ikimuli2020 @MORDECAI1992

“Science and innovation must become an economic driver for our nations,” Dr. Monica Musenero emphasized during the BIOMIC webinar. She highlighted Uganda’s efforts since 2021 to build local capacity for therapeutics, medicines and health technologies, noting that local production will improve access, affordability, create jobs and drive deep technological transformation in the country. #BIOMICInnovationUG @DrMusenero @EngJonard @elijahtury @brucekirenga @Zahranamuli @Jackynakabira @MORDECAI1992 @ikimuli2020 @rnantanda @katswincey @winterzie
