Newman’s at the Katale: Celebrating the Spirit of Women Entrepreneurs

When women innovate, they do more than create products; they engineer solutions to community challenges. Theirs is a brand of practical innovation, the kind that moves beyond the drawing board to drive the entire society forward.

This March, as the world honors the strides of women, we are thrilled to announce that we will be exhibiting at the International Women’s Day Katale.

Organized by the U.S. Exchange Alumni Uganda, AWE Alumnae Association, and UIA, this event is more than just a marketplace, it is a powerful gathering of innovators, creators, and leaders who are breaking barriers and building businesses.

The Women’s Day Katale provides a unique space for women entrepreneurs to showcase their excellence to the world. We are especially excited to learn from the visionary voices leading the conversation, including our very own Commercial Director, Rosette Najjemba Segujja, who will be sharing her insights on growth and sustainability in business.

Just as a single maize kernel transforms under pressure to eventually become Newman’s Popcorn, these women are transforming challenges into opportunities, proving that resilience is their unspoken strength.

Newman’s is proud to exhibit alongside such a dynamic community. Our mission has always been to fuel excellence, and there is no better place to do that than at a celebration of female-led ingenuity. Whether you are an exhibitor, a seasoned professional, or an aspiring entrepreneur, we invite you to stop by our booth, refuel, and connect with our team.
