Outbox Hub plays a key role in promoting tech entrepreneurship. Since its inception, it has established a solid reputation as a catalyst for innovation and an invaluable support for budding entrepreneurs.
Outbox Hub is a tech innovation space and incubator based in Uganda. Founded in 2012 by Richard Zulu, also its director, it helps new and aspiring African entrepreneurs keen to use technology to create high-growth businesses.
With its modern and inspiring collaborative workspace, Outbox Hub offers an environment that fosters creativity and idea sharing. Like all incubators, it does not provide just workspaces but also offers comprehensive incubation programs that help startups turn their ideas into sustainable businesses. Selected entrepreneurs benefit from personalized mentoring, specialized training, business consulting, and access to a network of experts and investors.
In collaboration with its partners NSSF Uganda, Mastercard Foundation, JICA, World Food Programme (WFP), USAID Uganda, AfriConEU, Ye! ITC Community, etc., the incubator launched several initiatives to promote youth involvement in the tech industry. These initiatives include UpAccelerate, a one-year initiative to support young entrepreneurs tackling the challenges of sexual and reproductive health in Uganda. There is also the NSSF Hi-Innovator learning lab for agricultural businesses launched on Thursday, June 15, 2023.
Outbox Hub also designs and develops technological solutions that enable organizations to accelerate their social impact. It works to increase the number of women and girls in technology through the conferences and training courses it organizes under its Women in Technology program.
