Belgian Ambassador to Uganda, Hugues Chantry, officially announcing the launch of BUBA.

On 5 October 2026, the Belgian Residence in Kampala welcomed entrepreneurs, business leaders and institutional representatives for an evening introducing BUBA, the Belgium Uganda Business Alliance.

Our ambition is simple: build a bridge that works in both directions, connecting Belgian and Ugandan businesses through shared experience, practical dialogue and new opportunities.

Our heartfelt thanks go to H.E. Hugues Chantry, Ambassador of Belgium to Uganda, for hosting us, and to the Royal Embassy of Belgium in Kampala team for making this gathering possible.

We also warmly thank:
• Robert Mukiza, Director General of the Uganda Investment Authority, and the UIA team.
• Nicolas Oebel, Country Director of Enabel in Uganda, and the Enabel team.
• The Brussels Airlines team in Uganda.
• All the entrepreneurs and guests who brought their ideas, questions and energy to the evening.
• Our co-founders, Verstraete Patrick, Olivier Van Pee & Gregory Knuets

This gathering opened a conversation about what businesses need and how BUBA can bring value. We look forward to shaping the alliance together.
