The Uganda Investment Authority (UIA), in partnership with Operation Wealth Creation (OWC), is finalising preparations for the upcoming Uganda – DR Congo Trade and Investment Summit.
The UIA Director General, Mukiza Robert, chaired a high-level preparatory meeting this week to align stakeholders ahead of the event.
The summit aims to expand bilateral trade, strategic cooperation, and open new cross-border investment opportunities.
It will serve as a platform for stakeholders to explore joint ventures, sectoral partnerships, and innovative investment initiatives between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, while promoting private-sector–led growth and regional integration.
Speaking at the meeting, Mukiza highlighted the importance of forging a broader business and investment outlook between Uganda and DR Congo, for the mutual benefit of businesses and citizens of both countries.
In attendance at the preparatory meeting were the OWC team, including Philip Idro (Principal Advisor), David Pulkol (Principal Advisor), Twinobusingye Severino (Principal Legal Advisor), and Brig Gen George Etyang.
The summit is expected to convene government officials, business leaders, and investors from both countries to cement Uganda–DR Congo economic relations and identify actionable opportunities for business, development, and regional prosperity.
