Businesses in Uganda have been urged to embrace the digital age and set up websites and social media accounts.
At a seminar for businesspeople held in the Ugandan capital, the CEO of the mobile directory Africa 118 Jerome Mukunda said that it was becoming increasingly vital for businesses to have a digital presence if they want to succeed.
“Having an online presence such as a website sells the businesses across borders,” Mukunda said, also urging businesses to ensure their accounts books are in order.
Earlier this year, Google recognised the future potential of Uganda's internet market, choosing the country to be the pilot for its Google Link project, which involved laying fibre optic cables to improve internet access in the country.Â
