Resumen
Descripción
The Uganda industrial research
institute (UIRI), a traditional incubator run by the
government, has made a significant impact by locating
value-added processing systems from its Kampala headquarters
into farmer communities. While the model lacks the necessary
innovation development, UIRI offers small and medium
enterprise (SME) clients in these regions the opportunity to
expand personal income and existing businesses through local
market development and value-added food processing. At the
same time, however, UIRI's traditional incubator has
been challenged to graduate incubatees who do not have the
financial resources to stand on their own. UIRI has revised
its mandate, purpose, and organizational structure to better
address its mission and the country s industrial development
strategies. This has resulted in a more dynamic, flexible,
and responsive organization geared towards: (a) technology
development and transfer; (b) business development services;
(c) industrial services; (d) pilot plants and prototyping;
and (e) UIRI millennium science initiative (MSI).
