In parallel to activities going on at the exhibition ground, a conference on technology transfer and on post-harvest loss management technologies was held. This session was conducted by UCPC and MU and featured presentations on Sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals, Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production as well as panel discussions between representatives of Ministries, SMEs and financial institutions. The main outcome of this exchange was the need to increase the awareness on the availability and incentives related to sustainable technologies among the key actors. To this end, consultations were initiated towards the signing of a Policy TechExpo 2022 Kampala Declaration, involving in particular, the Uganda Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF), Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives (MTIC) and the Federation of Small and Medium sized Enterprises-Uganda, and the Financial sector.
The conference activities also featured demonstration side events of the SDH technology by Sokoine University Graduate Entrepreneurs Cooperative (SUGECO) and of the Mobile App of the TeTraPHar Africa project developed by Digital Mobile Africa (DMA)
