Prime Minister, Robinah Nabbanja, has flagged off a group of trainees bound for China to undergo training in cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, 5G, Digital Power, Cloud Computing, and ICT.

The beneficiaries, selected by Huawei based on academic excellence and commitment to technological advancement, will participate in the esteemed 2024 Huawei LEAP Digital Talent Training in Shenzhen, China.

"I call upon the trainees to take advantage of this opportunity to represent Uganda effectively," Nabbanja urged. "Thank you, Huawei, for this initiative."

This program is part of Huawei's efforts to develop digital talent in Uganda and across Africa. Earlier this year, Huawei launched the DigiTruck Project in Uganda, aiming to impart digital skills to over 10,000 Ugandans in three years.

The company has also committed to training 150,000 young Africans in digital skills over the next three years.

This initiative underscores Uganda's commitment to embracing digitalization and leveraging technology for socio-economic transformation.

Nabbanja emphasized, "ICT is the way to go. The whole world is moving digital, and Uganda cannot be left behind"
