The Coordinators of the East Africa Investment Forum and Trade Exhibition extend a warm invitation to Ugandans and participants from other nations to join the event, coinciding with the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the G77+China summits in Kampala. Taking place from January 17-18, 2024, at the Kampala Serena Hotel, the forum’s theme is “Deeper Cooperation in Trade, Tourism, and Investment for Shared Global Affluence.”
This forum provides a platform for discussions and the display of business opportunities, showcasing East Africa’s vast business and investment potential to NAM and G77+China member states. The NAM and G77, fostering South-South cooperation, present an ideal environment for nations to collaborate and advance their economic interests.
The exhibition will highlight key sectors driving East Africa’s economic growth, including tourism, agri-value addition, mineral beneficiation, oil and gas, and ICT. Emphasizing regional integration, the forum aims to strengthen ties within East Africa and foster collaboration for unified economic development.
