They shared powerful perspectives on Africa’s digital future and the growth of its tech ecosystem. In her remarks, Trixie LohMirmand made a notable mention of Uganda's intentional steps towards advancements in STIs and deep tech commending Hon. Dr. Monica Musenero MasanzaMonica Musenero Masanza for her scientific approaches and vision for the digital and knowledge economy.
