Uganda

Venture Capitalist Firms in Africa to attend this conference

The
growth and development of SMEs, is among Government’s key priority
areas which has been hampered by lack of affordable and appropriate
finance for the investment growth and expansion of businesses. This
state necessitates alternative funding solutions which should be more
appropriate and more affordable than traditional funding options. These
solutions are from another section of the private sector; and they
provide a win win situation. In this case, private equity firms and
venture capitalists (individual or firms) look for viable businesses in
which to invest their capital and business management practices, while
SMEs looking for more than capital in form of money benefit from the
partnership, through access to new technology markets and better
management practices.
The
SME focus of Uganda Investment Authority (UIA) is to strengthen the
existing businesses and encourage start ups through strategies that
strengthen the competitiveness of SMEs and encourage the consumption of
locally produced goods and services. One of the ways to do this is to
provide alternative solutions for the funding problem, hence the
upcoming Kampala Private Equity and Venture Capitalist Conference 2015.
This conference will provide a platform to enable networking with a high
quality mix of venture capitalists and private equity firms so that
deals can get done. Ugandan SMEs in attendance will benefit from experts
and regulatory professionals who will provide an insight into the
status of their businesses and possibilities on what can be done to tap
into all opportunities presented by the market. We hope funding
arrangements between the SMEs and PE and VC firms will be concluded
during the conference.
UIA
invites interested Private Equity and Venture Capitalist Firms in
Africa to attend this conference and get an insight into this unexplored
viable investment opportunity.
