In brief, transmuting students’ ideas and general knowledge into business initiatives.

5. Scope of operation

GUBCCo’s trade is knowledge management and utilisation for creating solutions that promote good socio-economic and technological governance to address Uganda’s and Africa’s as well as the world’s socio-economic and technological problems. GUBCCo is focused at university-community/industry knowledge transfer—an industry/area that is greatly underexploited in Uganda/Africa—explained by the persistence of unsolved societal socio-economic and technological problems, yet the country/continent is not at all short of universities. Rather, what is observed is education that is not tailored to solve societal challenges, which is a result of university, communities and industry being more or less mutually exclusive sets.
