Equity Bank, in partnership with the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII), today officially kicked off the India-Uganda Trade Mission in Kampala. This two-day high-level event, from 22nd to 23rd October 2024, brings together a delegation of entrepreneurs from India and leading Ugandan business leaders to strengthen bilateral trade between the two nations.
The trade mission focuses on key sectors including health, information technology, agriculture, energy, roads and transport, tourism, real estate and defence – industries critical to Uganda’s development and India’s expertise. The mission aims to foster new partnerships, increase investment, and enhance trade cooperation between India and Uganda.
Through a series of business-to-business meetings, panel discussions, visits to select industries and networking opportunities, participants from both countries will have the chance to engage in meaningful exchanges that could drive technological innovations, investment flows and sustainable growth.
At the opening ceremony of the trade mission, Equity Bank Uganda Managing Director, Anthony Kituuka expressed delight in hosting this important event, which aims to connect Uganda and India for exploring investment opportunities and fostering long-term business partnerships.
“Equity Bank is committed to promoting the socio-economic prosperity of the people of Africa, and we are excited to create a platform that facilitates networking, benchmarks business opportunities, and provides valuable market intelligence, which are essential elements for driving growth and success in Uganda and the East African region. We believe this inaugural trade mission will inspire the Indian private sector players to explore Uganda’s untapped opportunities, which Equity Bank has experienced firsthand,” said Kituuka.
