Market Making For Entrepreneurs
The Innovation Village is a destination entrepreneurs call home. We purpose to deliberately grow innovation by putting in place a platform that challenges assumption, ignites thought and questions status quo. As a launchpad for innovators, we bring together partners, startups, investors and researchers to act as one force for good.
For a long time, a standard approach to nurturing innovators has mostly been through innovation competitions and award ceremonies that focus on the top 3 winners out of 100 submissions. The Innovation Village is a destination that the 97 who never take the trophy home come to transform their ideas into solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges. We create an environment where start-ups grow in confidence and capability scaling from promising tech into fully established sustainable businesses. We breathe for seeing people’s ideas that could transform society come to life and make a remarkable impact. The doors are open for all that have big Ideas and the determination to work them into life. We are an ecosystem builder at the heart of an interconnected network of entrepreneurs, academia, private sector, government, investors, believers and doers deepening the application of technology in powering socio-economic prosperity. We promote an innovation culture that embraces experimentation, constantly evaluates and recognizes failure as a lesson. Everything we do is built on fundamental pillars; Place, Innovation as a Service, Ventures and Data and Technology services in the development of products and services for the ecosystem.- Location: Kampala, Uganda, East Africa
