Center
To: I-Network Uganda <i-network at dgroups.org>


 Greetings to you all! I do hope and pray that you are in perfect health. I
would like to take this opportunity to invite you once again to participate
in the National Software Incubation Center. We have concluded the receiving
of application and the response has been overwhelming in the next few days
we will be screening the students to identify those that will go through the
training.



However we have received decimal response from the sector. I did send out an
email in the month of April to this list requesting those who would be
interested to participate to provide project ideas and to date we have only
received not more than 10 projects from the industry. The success of this
initiative entirely depends on the partnerships. I appreciate that we are
all busy but I am also sure that you have a number of project ideas that
could be incubated which would be a win-win situation. The Faculty is
shouldering all the operational costs and all you have to do is to provide
the ideas. Being in the industry gives you an edge over me in academia
because you have real issues and that is what we are looking for.



Here is the appeal: if you have any software related projects that you can
easily pass on to the incubation it will be more than welcome. Please send
me a brief about the project and will be keep you posted.



Looking forward to hearing from you.



Warm regards
