October 5 @ 8:00 am - November 5 @ 12:00 am
Kampala, Uganda – The stage is set for a pivotal event aimed at transforming the financial landscape for Uganda’s manufacturing sector. The 2nd Annual Financial Symposium & Exhibition was officially launched today at a press conference, heralding a two-day deep dive into innovative and sustainable financing solutions scheduled for June 10th-11th, 2025, at the UMA Multipurpose Hall.
This initiative, supported by leading financial institutions Absa Uganda and Centenary Bank, promises to be a cornerstone event for manufacturers seeking to navigate the future of finance and build resilient, environmentally conscious businesses. The symposium is designed to pioneer pathways where finance seamlessly meets sustainability, fostering a thriving industrial environment.
The press conference highlighted the core objectives of the event, emphasizing its role in facilitating:
- Exploration of Impactful Policies: Delving into existing and potential regulatory frameworks that can unlock funding and support sustainable practices within the manufacturing industry.
- High-Level Stakeholder Dialogues: Bringing together manufacturers, financiers, policymakers, and development partners for crucial conversations on overcoming financial barriers and fostering collaboration.
- Discovery of Cutting-Edge Financing Models: Showcasing innovative financial instruments, green funds, and bespoke solutions tailored to the unique needs of the manufacturing lifecycle – from capital investment in cleaner technologies to operational cash flow for sustainable supply chains.
A key addition this year is the Exhibition component, which will run alongside the symposium. This offers manufacturers a unique opportunity to engage directly with financial service providers, technology solution companies, and other stakeholders showcasing products and services that can support their growth and sustainability goals. Attendees can expect to explore practical tools and establish valuable partnerships.
