Uganda Connect International Buyers Week is our deliberate strategy to bring verified international buyers to Uganda, allowing them to experience our products, meet our producers, and build a long-term commercial relationship. We are moving away from speculative trade towards demand that creates sustainable jobs, attracts investment and grows household income,” Rwabwogo said.
The show will feature displays of new and pre-owned vehicles, trucks, motorcycles, classic and custom-built cars, auto accessories, finance and insurance solutions, as well as live stunt performances, drifting, gymkhana, road safety demonstrations and family entertainment.
