Reshaping
Infrastructure
Development

Infrastructural investments pave the way for
economic development which makes the
Secretariat's role in supporting innovative
projects very critical to the sector's evolution.

Our role is to coordinate and facilitate research,
development, technology transfer, and commercialization
of innovations for energy, railway, roads, airports, nanotech
and minerals, materials, STI and communications infrastructure.

National Science, Technology, Engineering and Innovation Centre (NSTEIC)

NSTEIC has been established under the National Science Technology Engineering Innovation and Skills Enhancement Project (NSTEI-SEP) being implemented by UNCST to align with the NRM manifesto and Uganda’s Vision 2040 agenda of setting up science and technology parks, engineering centers, technology and business incubation centers that meet international standards.

Technology Innovation and Business Incubation Centre (TIBIC)

This facility is under establishment in Namanve to host the electronics manufacturing facility and serve as a platform for technology development via the Process Industry Learning Factory model that provides common user facilities and shared workspaces for scientists and innovators.

Constructing Sustainable Infrastructure

We continue to play a critical role in increasing research and innovation capacity through support (and funding) for infrastructure development across the STI arenas through endeavours such as;

Learning Factory Model / Learn by Producing Model

Learning Factory Model / Learn by Producing Model

Providing an actual manufacturing environment for training, research, and production.
Design for Manufacturing and Assembly

Design for Manufacturing and Assembly

Training engineers to design and produce products using state-of-the-art equipment
Local Infrastructure Projects

Local Infrastructure Projects

These projects provide opportunities for Ugandans to participate in road construction, electricity distribution, and Oil & Gas Pipeline Construction to reduce on foreign expertise dependency in these areas.

Laying the foundation for economic growth

Because technological innovation and advancements play a pivotal role in Uganda's economic growth, investing in the infrastructure sector directly can positively impact the nation in the following ways;

  • Improvement in the effective capacity of existing infrastructure
  • Reduced maintenance and operating costs.
  • Safer, more reliable and sustainable infrastructure.
  • Creation of new job opportunities for the skilled workforce that manage these systems.
  • Sustainable infrastructural development practices not only improve the environment.
  • Improved connectivity and mobility which opens up new opportunities for businesses and investments
