In partnership with the Commonwealth Business Council (CBC) NABA invites Norwegian companies to join a business mission to Uganda 10 – 14 April.
Highlight of the business mission is the participation in the Commonwealth Business Council’s ”Driving growth in Africa” conference organized in collaboration with the Government of Uganda.
NABA will prepare a side program for Norwegian delegates before and after this conference, in collaboration with the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Kampala and the Norwegian Business Centre (NBC) in Kampala.
“I would like to invite all international investors looking to take part in the African Boom to join us in Kampala for the Uganda Investment Forum. The Forum will focus on Uganda as one of Africa’s leading business and investment destinations, while taking the theme ‘Driving Growth in Africa’. Uganda is ideally situated to be your gateway to the 150 million consumers in East African Community and the 1 billion across the African Continent. Uganda was the host of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) and the Commonwealth Business Forum (CBF) 2007. CBF 2007 was the largest Commonwealth Business event ever held in Africa and resulted in over US$1 Billion worth of Infrastructure proposals. By partnering with the Commonwealth Business Council, we intend to build on this success and further increase investment into Uganda.”
