This paper will discuss the core indicators of Research and Development (R&D) and Innovation; the empirical data of the state of Uganda’s Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators. The paper further explores the potential benefits and the best practices in incubation process. The major conclusions are; prioritizing science and technology policy will create more opportunities and build capabilities for innovations and technology.
