Delighted to join EU colleagues and Swedish company Linjemontage for this important discussion with H.E. @KagutaMuseveni on investment and business. Proud to highlight #TeamSwedenโ€™s support for the Karuma-Tororo 400kV transmission line project, newly launched together with ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฌMinister of Energy @DrMusenero.
Last night at State House Entebbe, I met European Ambassadors and investors. I was pleased to learn that European investors are increasingly investing in Uganda, particularly in hydropower and other infrastructure projects. I have always told our European friends that Africa is a huge market because of its rapidly growing population. This is an opportunity we must all take advantage of. On tax incentives, I explained that our 10 year tax holiday for eligible manufacturers is meant to encourage investment, production and job creation. As our people produce and earn more, Government also collects revenue through consumer spending and income taxes.

Fragmented regulations, incompatible payment systems, inadequate logistics, cybersecurity risks, and limited digital skills continue to constrain cross-border digital trade. Addressing these challenges requires regional cooperation, predictable rules, and trusted digital systems. @USEmbassyUganda @xcenneth @ug_lawsociety @kta_law @mtic_uganda @nssfug @UCC_Official @KTASymposium #KTASymposium2026

President @KagutaMuseveni has urged European investors to turn Ugandaโ€™s vast economic potential into productive investments that create jobs, expand markets and drive industrialisation. He emphasised that Uganda needs investment that delivers affordable energy, efficient transport, value addition and increased production, while highlighting opportunities in manufacturing, infrastructure, irrigation and agro-processing. His Excellency called for stronger partnerships that combine @EUinUG capital and technology with Ugandaโ€™s abundant resources to accelerate economic transformation.

Building Africaโ€™s Digital Single Market is a timely ambition. Digital technologies are transforming businesses, public services and trade. A small business in Kampala should increasingly be able to reach customers in Nairobi, Kigali, Accra or Johannesburg without being frustrated by borders. @USEmbassyUganda @xcenneth @ug_lawsociety @kta_law @mtic_uganda @nssfug @UCC_Official @KTASymposium #KTASymposium2026

What a week for #TeamSweden in Uganda! From the Uganda-EU Business Forum #UEUBF2026 and renewable energy discussions to business matchmaking, bilateral meetings and the groundbreaking of the Karumaโ€“Tororo transmission line, it has been a week of turning conversations into opportunities. This week, the Embassy of Sweden and Swedish companies engaged with Ugandaโ€™s @MEMD_Uganda , Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (@uetcl ), Uganda Investment Authority @ugandainvest and other key stakeholders to discuss energy priorities, project development, infrastructure delivery and opportunities for further cooperation. We were pleased to meet H.E @KagutaMuseveni alongside Swedish company Linjemontage, strengthening engagement on opportunities for Swedish expertise and investment to support Ugandaโ€™s energy infrastructure development #TeamSweden #SwedenInUganda #EnergyTransition #SustainableInvestment

โ€œAfrica must chart its own course.โ€ Amb. @JanSadek at #KTASymposium2026: Europeโ€™s experience shows what regional integration can unlock incredible opportunity, but Africaโ€™s Digital Single Market must respond to its own realities; from payments & logistics to regulation and cybersecurity. Can an entrepreneur: โ†’ Sell across borders? โ†’ Receive affordable, secure payments? โ†’ Reach customers efficiently? Thatโ€™s where Africaโ€™s Digital Single Market must ultimately deliver. @kta_law @EUinUG #KTASymposium2026 #DigitalTrade #AfCFTA
