Next Com to lead Uganda's digital revolution at digital economy conference

Organized by Next Com, a subsidiary of Next Media Uganda, the event is an integral part of the #BeeraSteady-Be Better campaign, aiming to showcase Uganda's digital potential, opportunities, and progress.

"We will be addressing product testing and tackling issues such as cybersecurity, policy, infrastructure, and skill sets in the digital economy," he explains.

This holistic approach ensures that all critical facets of the digital landscape are covered, providing attendees with a robust understanding of the sector.

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into various sectors, its role in enhancing efficiency and data interpretation is undeniable.

"As we become more accustomed to incorporating AI, we become more efficient, gaining the ability to convert and interpret data from research more effectively," Kavuma notes.

This sentiment reflects the growing importance of AI in streamlining processes and driving informed decision-making.

"Convenience is crucial; AI streamlines processes for people across various disciplines. It's not just for tech professionals; everyone should come and see how we can transform Uganda together," Danze states.

This inclusive vision underscores the potential of AI to benefit various sectors and individuals, fostering a more integrated digital society.

The conference is not merely a platform for networking but also a hub for collaboration and policy influence.

"Everyone, from individuals to brands, is invited to the State Of The Digital Economy. Beyond connecting, we will collaborate to influence policies. Come and learn how the internet and various businesses operate. Ultimately, our goal is to build capacity for the companies that attend," Danze elaborates.

This initiative aims to empower participants with the knowledge and connections needed to thrive in the digital economy.

The State Of The Digital Economy conference promises to be a landmark event for Uganda, bringing together diverse stakeholders to explore and shape the future of the digital economy.
