Our Partnerships and Ecosystems Manager, David Baziwane, represented us at the recently concluded Buganda Business Forum 2026, hosted by @bbstvug.
David drove critical awareness around the ATMS (Agro-Industrialization, Tourism, Mineral Development, and Science & Technology) strategy, highlighting how private sector can align with and leverage these upcoming opportunities, specifically focusing on positioning businesses to drive and benefit from Uganda’s ambitious 10-fold growth strategy.

Want to build wealth? Your focus must be on the customer first! The money shall follow 😌.

Today, we hosted the National Business Development Services (BDS) Strategy Framework 2026–2030 Stakeholder Consultation and Validation Meeting at the BDS Centre of Excellence (CoE), led by @mtic_uganda and @mofpedU.
The engagement brought together MDAs and key private sector stakeholders to review, refine, and validate the draft as BDS remains critical in supporting enterprise survival, productivity, market access, innovation, and inclusive economic transformation.
This updated framework seeks to advance a sustainable, inclusive, competitive, and growth-oriented private sector by strengthening the coordination, quality, and impact of Business Development Services in Uganda.

Sometimes, entrepreneurship requires you to walk a lonely path.
Are you ready to take a calculated risk to build something unique?
In the words of the poet Robert Frost; "I took the road less travelled by, and that has made all the difference".

Continuous learning is the second key to identifying the right business to start.
A good entrepreneur always leaves room for improvement.
Consume your own product and seek feedback from your clients.
In other words, a cook must taste their own food! 😁

Tax laws are changing, but how clearly do you understand what the new amendments mean for your business, income, and daily operations?
From the revised PAYE threshold to new withholding taxes on commissions and betting winnings, the changes taking effect in July 2026 will impact many businesses and individuals. The real question is whether you are prepared, or whether you will only feel the impact when it begins affecting your cash flow and compliance.
Join this practical online session and gain clear insights into the new tax amendments and what they mean for entrepreneurs, employees, and growing businesses.

This is the difference between practice and theory!
We're on Day 4 of the B.E.S.T. Training here in Kampala, and entrepreneurs were split into groups to practice identifying business opportunities.
Here, a representative from @UgandaPrisons shares his group's creative idea to use plastic bags to grow vegetables for sale to take advantage of the market for fresh produce despite having no land for farming. #startups #BESTKampala
A whopping 89.2% of employed Ugandans work in the informal sector. Consider your local barber, baker, and even your boda guy.
The state has invested heavily in promoting mass formalisation, often through strict punitive measures. But what if the road to a formal economy was achieved through support, instead of a penalty?
