Formerly the National Association of Student Enterprises, NASE Africa is a social enterprise that focuses on facilitating entrepreneurship and enterprise skills among the youth in Uganda. Launched in December 2015, with support from Kingston University, London (UK), NASE’s work, which covers various sectors, supports and increases the capacity of youth to engage in innovative and entrepreneurial business development activities before and shortly after they leave school.

Before VCs even come in, grants offer a risk-free opportunity for the vast majority of early-stage entrepreneurs to test out and kickstart their ideas.
Corporate Entrepreneurship
Over the years, NASE has reached and impacted over 15,000 youth across the country through various programs, with most coming from our university networks.
Participants in our programs have, to-date, won over USD $700,000 worth of grants.
Over 120 youth entrepreneurs currently “in the trenches” with us, with many winning numerous startup awards.
Our programs have tapped into our network of over 70 judges, mentors and facilitators.
Located in Bukoto, Kampala, and although still under upgrade, our skilling centre is the beating heart of what we do.
