Uganda–Qatar Business Forum Returns for Second Edition on 27th October

Doha — The Embassy of the Republic of Uganda in the State of Qatar is pleased to announce that the Second Edition of the Uganda–Qatar Business Forum will be held on Monday, 27th October 2025, at Rotana City Centre, Doha, under the theme: “Uganda and Qatar in Partnership for Shared Economic Development.”

Building on the success of the inaugural edition, this year’s Forum will convene senior dignitaries, investors, business leaders, and government officials from Uganda, Qatar, and across the Gulf region to explore new avenues for collaboration in trade, investment, and tourism. The event is organised in partnership with KON W.L.L, the Forum’s Strategic Partner.

Speaking ahead of the event, H.E. Dr. Stephen Chebrot, Ambassador of the Republic of Uganda to the State of Qatar, said the Forum underscores Uganda’s strengthened engagement with Qatar through economic and commercial diplomacy.

“The Uganda–Qatar Business Forum provides a valuable platform for dialogue, networking, and partnership. Uganda warmly welcomes Qatari investors to explore our country’s immense potential in agriculture, tourism, minerals, energy, manufacturing, and ICT — the key sectors driving Uganda’s transformation agenda,” said Amb. Dr. Chebrot.

The one-day Forum will feature keynote addresses, panel discussions, and sectoral presentations by leading Ugandan and Qatari institutions, including the Uganda Investment Authority (UIA), Uganda Free Zones and Export Promotion Authority, Private Sector Foundation Uganda (PSFU), Qatar Chamber of Commerce, and Qatar Tourism, among others.

Participants will also engage in business-to-business (B2B) sessions, sector-focused dialogues, and cultural showcases designed to strengthen bilateral relations and promote private-sector collaboration between the two countries.

The Uganda–Qatar Business Forum is part of Uganda’s broader Economic and Commercial Diplomacy Programme, which aims to attract investment, promote exports, and build mutually beneficial partnerships that advance shared prosperity between Uganda and its international partners.
