We’ve upgraded our tech capacity with modern machinery to supercharge local production. From precision to scalability,
These include Automated advanced homogenising/emulsifying equipment for cosmetics and soap, Computerised embroidery machines for better precision and design and Needle punch line machinery for absorbent cotton wool production to support health sectors.

UIRI hosted a high-level delegation from the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The visit focused on exploring opportunities for collaboration and support between UIRI and AfCFTA.

Our ED, Prof. Charles Kwesiga, delivered a presentation on UIRI's role in the industrialisation agenda of Uganda. Later he led the delegation on a tour of UIRI's iconic Namanve facility.

The AfCFTA is a significant initiative aimed at creating a single, continent-wide market for goods and services, boosting intra-African trade and economic growth. By eliminating tariffs and non-tariff barriers, the AfCFTA seeks to increase trade facilitation, improve competitiveness, and attract foreign investment.
