He was speaking to 40 exceptional university students who attended the week long transformative training and mentorship at the Equity Bank innovation hub Rollout at Eureka Place Hotel in Ntinda, a Kampala suburb on Friday. He encouraged the young people to stand out and provide technological solutions to evolving life challenges and needs.

Mr. Bwaya lauded the Equity Bank Uganda and Kenya team for organizing the innovation hub, including Eliud Njogu, an ELP alumni and Julius Njuguna the Co-Founder of E&M Technology, a software development company specializing in financial industry innovations across East Africa.

‘’The journey of innovation never ends straight, but as the adage goes, a bend in the road doesn’t mean the end of the road. The world is where it is today because of innovation that has spurred development by people who have seen the bend in the road’’, said Mr Bwaya.

The students delved into the intricacies of app development, solving technology challenges, and exchanging groundbreaking ideas.

Following the initial training, the scholars will join 400 other Equity Leaders Program scholars from across the region in Kenya for further incubation training. This phase will expand their knowledge and provide invaluable insights into the tech industry.

The launch of the Equity Group Innovation Hub is pivotal, as Equity Group spearheads the transformative Africa Recovery and Resilience Plan (ARRP) to digitise value chains for 100 million customers. The initiative requires a pool of skilled technical talent and innovators.

https://admissions.kiu.ac.ug/Established in 1998, the Equity Leaders Program (ELP) is a rigorous leadership development initiative for top-performing students and has benefited over 24,000 scholars across the East Africa region. Its goal is to create a community of transformative leaders who work together across borders and various sectors to drive sustainable economic growth and social progress in Africa.

The program also aims to empower young, academically gifted scholars by supporting their access to education in global universities. ELP has sent five (5) scholars from Uganda and over 900 scholars from other Equity Group subsidiaries to prestigious universities such as MIT, Yale, Harvard, and Princeton.
