As a follow-up activity, Subproject 5 will conduct a Digital Marketing Skills Bootcamp from 29th June to 3rd July 2026 at Rwentanga Farm Institute. The training aims to support innovators from the previous entrepreneurship bootcamp by equipping them with practical digital skills needed to commercialize their innovations, strengthen their brands, and reach wider markets.
The five-day hands-on bootcamp will focus on social media marketing, digital branding, content creation, artificial intelligence tools, customer engagement, digital storytelling, and marketing strategy development. Participants will also engage with potential customers to understand market needs and design effective digital messages for their products and services.
This initiative aligns with the MUST/IUC UCoBS Subproject 5 objective of increasing youth employability through skilling, innovation, experiential learning, and technology transfer. By integrating entrepreneurship skills with digital marketing capabilities, the project continues to empower young innovators to transform their ideas into sustainable and market-ready enterprises.
Through this continued engagement, MUST/IUC UCoBS Subproject 5 remains committed to supporting young innovators beyond idea creation by providing practical skills, mentorship, and market-oriented learning experiences that bridge the gap between innovation and commercialization.
