Business Incubation

Business Incubation

At the heart of the Uganda Industrial Research Institute’ aspiration to build Ugandans’ industrial capacity is the business incubation program in which Incubation has been identified as a powerful process of business enterprise development because it creates the bridge between innovation and commercialization.

Business incubation is the process by which the institute supports start-up businesses in order to build entrepreneurship capability for self-sustenance. The program which enhances the chances of success and growth of Uganda’s Small and Medium Enterprises involves the provision of facilities such as physical space, shared services/machinery, skills training and business legal advice to boost the operations of selected entrepreneurs, supporting them to maturation.

UIRI is currently assisting over 30 incubatees, some of whom are in-house or virtual incubatees. Virtual Incubation occurs when the incubated enterprises are supported in the communities and In-house Incubation is when the enterprise is supported at the institute.
