What's next after Juba? The next planned stop is Kampala
Remote Talent Hub's first steps in Juba showed that a personal presentation, a university connection and a small pilot group can turn a vision into a real process. Another planned country is Uganda. GenerationEd is preparing a working visit to Kampala for September 2026 in cooperation with Slovak-African Business and Investment Council (SABIC).
Short answer
The next planned step after Juba is a working visit to Kampala to introduce Remote Talent Hub to universities and relevant education officials. In working discussions, H.E. Amb. Stephen Mubiru expressed strong interest in the project and in supporting suitable Ugandan students as they explore study opportunities at Slovak universities and Remote Talent Hub assessment.
Why Uganda is the logical next step
Juba provided the first environment for model validation. Uganda can bring another type of experience: a larger university ecosystem, a wider network of relevant institutions and space to connect the two directions Remote Talent Hub.
Remote Project Pathway
Identification, testing and development of talents who can gradually prepare for remote AI and IT projects.
Study and Scholarship Pathway
Informing suitable students about study opportunities in Slovakia, scholarship programs and admission conditions.
Both paths can complement each other. The student can develop technical skills at a distance and at the same time navigate in the possibilities of higher education in Slovakia. However, GenerationEd does not decide on university admissions, scholarships or visas.
The role of H.E. Amb. Stephen Mubiru
H.E. Amb. Stephen Mubiru is Uganda's ambassador to Berlin. His mission is also non-resident accredited for Slovakia.
According to working discussions, the Remote Talent Hub project strongly interested him. He expressed interest in supporting the identification of suitable Ugandan students and connecting two pathways:
- apply to study at Slovak universities if the conditions are met,
- engage in identification, testing and development through Remote Talent Hub.
This interest does not mean that the embassy guarantees admission, scholarship, visa or project involvement. Nor is it a formal endorsement of Remote Talent Hub by the Ugandan government.
What does "sending students to Slovakia" mean in practice
In a diplomatic and educational context, this is not an automatic broadcast or an assigned quota. It is about creating a better information and preparation path for students who meet the conditions.
| Step | What GenerationEd can support | Who decides |
|---|---|---|
| Talent identification | Technical testing, practical tasks and development profile | GenerationEd within your process |
| Study program selection | Orientation in relevant fields and resources | A student |
| University application | Explanation of process and conditions | Relevant university |
| Scholarship application | Information about the publicly available program and preparation | Scholarship provider |
| Visa process | Basic orientation and links to official sources | Competent state authorities |
| Project involvement | Testing, mentoring and matching to the appropriate assignment | It depends on the results, the availability of the project and the agreement of the parties |
Current information about the Slovak program for talented foreign students is available on the official portal Scholarships for Talented Students.
What is being prepared for September 2026
GenerationEd is preparing a working visit to Kampala in cooperation with Slovak-African Business and Investment Council (SABIC). The exact date and final program have not yet been publicly confirmed.
Planned thematic areas include:
- meetings with universities and relevant representatives in the field of education,
- introduction of the Remote Talent Hub model,
- discussion on the identification and testing of AI and IT talents,
- a discussion about study opportunities in Slovakia,
- setting up a small first pilot group,
- finding a local contact point for further work communication.
Definition:
The next country in the pipeline is a country where working meetings are being prepared and the possibility of a pilot is being verified. It does not mean that the country, government or universities have already entered the project.

What is to be transferred from Juba to Kampala
1
Start with personal communication
The project must be explained in the local context and openly named what it does and does not guarantee.
2
Find a specific university unit
The pilot needs a school or faculty with relevant students and a responsible contact person.
3
Start with a small group
The first testing is to validate the process, not create big public numbers.
4
Separate studies from projects
School admission, scholarship and Remote Talent Hub are different processes with different decision-making authorities.
5
Document the results
Each metric must differentiate interested, tested candidates, talent with potential and project-ready people.
What a positive impact Kampala can have
| Target group | Possible benefit |
|---|---|
| Ugandan students | Access to information, testing, mentoring, study opportunities and international projects |
| Ugandan universities | Practical feedback on students' abilities and new links to Slovakia |
| Slovak universities | Access to talented foreign applicants who prepared more systematically |
| Slovak companies | Future opportunity to work with pre-tested talent and international teams |
| GenerationEd members in Slovakia | Leadership experience in coordinating and leading international project cells |
