UGANDA FORUM - MATCHMAKING
Welcome to the Matchmaking session of Uganda Forum!
Finnpartnership and Partnering for Change (PARC) project organise Uganda Forum on 5th of December in Helsinki and on 12th of December a virtual Matchmaking event that brings together companies and organisations from Finland and Uganda to enable concrete collaboration efforts between the countries.
At the Matchmaking event, participating companies and organisations get to arrange one-to-one meetings with each other, present their offering, and initiate business partnerships for future collaboration. The event is held on 12 December at 10-12 Finnish time and 11-13 Ugandan time, and focuses on five key sectors: coffee and tea, construction, education, energy, and services.
Additionally, the participants have a chance to hear about Finnpartnership’s grant financing, Business Partnership Support, and how to apply for it, as well as Matchmaking service and how it supports finding new business partners.
Register to the event below by providing your company details as well as information on what kind of partners you are looking for. On the event day, the platform will connect you with most relevant participants, based on your registration info and create you a meeting schedule.
