Students from Makerere University Business School demonstrated cutting-edge innovations at the 29th Annual International Management Conference held at Imperial Golf View Hotel. The showcase highlighted MUBS’ commitment to producing graduates equipped to solve real-world challenges through technology.
The student innovation exhibition provided a platform to display solutions aimed at addressing critical societal issues. Among the standout projects was an Automated Traffic Lights System by Akankunda Lonitah, a third-year Business Computing student. Her project addresses the problem of vehicle congestion and long delays at junctions by using intelligent automation to regulate traffic flow more efficiently.

Another innovative solution was presented by Matovu Mathew Phillip, also a Business Computing student, who developed an Automated Car Parking System. Leveraging Artificial ntelligence and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, his system aims to reduce inefficiencies and congestion in parking spaces, common in urban areas.
Opio Emmanuel, a Bachelor of Business Computing (BBC) student, introduced an Accident Detection and Alert System. His project focuses on improving emergency response times by automatically detecting road accidents and sending alerts to relevant authorities and emergency services, especially in remote or less accessible areas. The students’ innovations not only showcased technological creativity but also emphasized the role of business education in fostering practical problem-solving skills.
Through such platforms, MUBS continues to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and industry needs, preparing students to become future-ready professionals.
