Company Description
The MUBS Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Incubation Centre (EIIC) is a specialized department of Makerere University Business School dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship and providing business support services in Uganda. Established to bridge the gap between academic theory and practical business application, the centre serves as a hub for students, budding entrepreneurs, and small business owners seeking to transform innovative ideas into viable commercial enterprises. It operates primarily from the main campus in Nakawa, Kampala, but extends its reach through regional centers in Jinja, Arua, and Mbale.
The centre’s primary mission is to nurture a culture of self-reliance and innovation by providing a structured environment for business incubation. This involves offering workspace, mentorship from seasoned industry professionals, and access to a network of investors and partners. The EIIC plays a critical role in the Ugandan startup ecosystem by hosting business clinics and boot camps where entrepreneurs receive hands-on training in financial management, marketing strategies, and digital transformation, helping them navigate the unique challenges of the local market.
In addition to its incubation services, the MUBS EIIC is heavily involved in research and policy advocacy related to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It frequently collaborates with international development agencies and government bodies to implement youth and women empowerment programs. By focusing on sectors such as agribusiness, technology, and value addition, the centre aims to drive economic growth and job creation, ensuring that the next generation of Ugandan leaders is equipped with the entrepreneurial skills necessary to compete globally.
