Equity Group's 2026 Uganda Trade and Investment Roadshow attracted over 150 investors from 10 countries to explore Uganda's growing manufacturing sector. The mission highlighted companies like RZ Innovations Limited, which produces motorcycle parts, aiming to foster regional trade and investment across Africa. This initiative was driven by demand from businesses seeking to expand and connect producers directly with buyers.
