The trade fair was officially launched on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, in a ceremony presided over by the Chairperson of UMA, Mr. Manisur Kayondo. During the launch, Mr. Kayondo emphasized the importance of this year’s event, highlighting UMA’s growth since its inception in 1992. “From humble beginnings, UMA has grown into a formidable force in Uganda’s industrial sector,” he said. “We are proud to host an international trade fair that reflects the steady progress of our manufacturing industry and our commitment to economic development.”
Since its establishment, UMA has been at the forefront of promoting local manufacturing, contributing significantly to reducing the country’s dependence on imports. With over 1,846 manufacturer members, UMA has played a key role in driving Uganda’s industrialization agenda, reducing imports to just 20% of the country’s needs.
This year’s trade fair is set to attract over 30 foreign countries, making it a truly international event. Manufacturers from various sectors, including agriculture, education, and technology, will be showcasing their latest innovations and products. The fair will also feature special pavilions dedicated to education and agriculture, reflecting UMA’s commitment to fostering knowledge and supporting Uganda’s agricultural sector.
One of the unique highlights of this year’s event is the “Unlimited Job Seekers’ Opportunities Pavilion,” designed to connect job seekers with potential employers across a wide range of industries. This initiative underscores UMA’s dedication to addressing unemployment and supporting Uganda’s workforce.
The UMA International Trade Fair offers an unparalleled platform for manufacturers to network, explore business opportunities, and showcase their products to a diverse audience. Manufacturers are encouraged to book exhibition stalls early to secure their place in this prestigious event. Likewise, the general public is invited to attend the fair in large numbers to experience firsthand the innovations shaping Uganda’s industrial future.
