UK and Indian Business Delegations Explore Investment Opportunities in Uganda

A joint delegation comprising 25 leading companies from the United Kingdom and India has arrived in Uganda to explore investment opportunities and establish partnerships across key sectors. The delegation includes members from the Westminster Africa Business Association (WABA) and the South Asian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI).

Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja welcomed the delegation, emphasizing Uganda's readiness for deeper, long-term investment. She stated, "Thank you for choosing to visit Uganda, for your interest in our growing market and for the engagement. These engagements must be well coordinated and outcome-driven so we can effectively showcase Uganda’s investment opportunities and match investors with credible Ugandan enterprises ready for partnership. I am confident that this visit will further strengthen our commercial ties with partners in the United Kingdom."

The British High Commissioner to Uganda, Lisa Chesney, highlighted the significance of the visit, noting, "This delegation is a testament to the momentum building across Uganda’s economy. British and Indian companies bring complementary strengths, deep expertise, and a shared appetite for opportunity. With a portfolio of investments through UKEF, BII, PIDG, and others already surpassing £1.3 billion, with an additional £1 billion in the pipeline, the UK is powering the ATMS and the tenfold growth strategy through long-term, high-quality investment."

During their stay, the delegations will participate in business-to-business meetings, site visits, and policy roundtables aimed at identifying market gaps and potential partnerships. Key areas of focus include green manufacturing, agro-processing, solar technologies, logistics, and skills development.

This visit aligns with the UK government's Plan for Change and Africa Approach, which prioritizes economic growth through private sector partnerships. It also supports Uganda's priorities in agro-industrialization, tourism, mining and minerals, and science, technology, and innovation, reinforcing the country's ambition for tenfold economic growth.
