2. Invitation from HE Yoweri Kaguta Museveni
President of Uganda
Uganda is one of Africa’s most dynamic and innovative economies, possessed of newly
discovered energy deposits and deep reserves of natural resources and an educated and
skilled workforce. I would like to invite all international investors looking to take part in the
African Boom to join us at The Sheraton Kampala on April 11-12 2013 for the Uganda
Investment Forum.
The Forum, organised in partnership with the Commonwealth Business Council, 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 $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.
Uganda’s business opportunities are attracting high levels of international interest and the
reform of our country’s economy to make it more private sector friendly is already paying
dividends. Now is the optimal time to visit Uganda and to meet with the Ministers and
officials and hear the success stories of other international private sector leaders that are
already operating here.
This Forum will bring together the decision makers you need to meet to do business in
Uganda as well as focusing on key issues essential to the continued growth and development
of our country and continent.
I hope you will join us for this important Forum, I look forward to meeting you in Kampala.
HE Yoweri Kaguta Museveni
