Business Environment

The East African business environment is one that has been marked by change and diversification. From an agrarian base, Uganda is slowly becoming an emerging market for pharmaceutical, healthcare, engineering, logistics, aviation, maritime, electronics, hospitality, ICT and software development, and financial services.

Intense infrastructural development and educational investment has provided Uganda with a strong core for business development and progress. Good communications through air connections and inland ports, and a strategic position in the East African Great lakes region has made it easy to reach hitherto remote areas of Eastern Congo, South Sudan, Rwanda and Burundi.
