The forum brings together experts, business leaders, professionals and representatives from prominent organisations based in Uganda, the UK and internationally. Delegates have access to up-to-date information on the vast potential for investment that Uganda offers to both the domestic and international community. They can acquire business tips, obtain relevant literature on priority sectors for investment, take part in an interactive Q & A session and hear about the realities of doing business in Uganda.

Meet and network with African and UK professionals marketing goods for global markets
Market your services and products to delegates and visitors on the day

Gain competitive advantage over competitors, broadening your marketing strategy
Network with like-minded businesses

Meet potential investors in order to identify funding options

The 2014 programme has a demanding, interesting and varied agenda over the course of the day, with keynote addresses, panel discussions and break-out networking sessions involving government and officials from the private sectors, prominent Ugandan (Africa) entrepreneurs, private equity funds, leaders and Pan-African development institutions.

A key focus of the forum is expressly designed to support the country’s efforts to attract foreign direct investment into Uganda and paint a candid and contemporary picture of the nation's regulatory, business and investment climate.

Also, the forum seeks to inform and update the investors and business community in Europe of the vast potential for investment that Uganda offers to both the domestic and international community, while highlighting priority sectors for investment.

We hope you will find a wealth of experience and knowledge represented at this conference, and take advantage of this space to share ideas, talents and resources.

Insights gained through our surveys and registration at this conference have revealed that 15% of the respondents have capital to invest in an existing or new business, while 45% have opportunities requiring capital or are looking for international partners.
