PAKASA Forum 2026 Launched as GEN Uganda, Enterprise Uganda and Vision Group Unite to Support Entrepreneurs
The PAKASA Forum 2026 has been officially launched at the Enterprise Uganda Centre of Excellence in Butabika, setting the stage for a three-day entrepreneurship gathering from 19–21 November 2026.
Scheduled for 21 November, the PAKASA Forum will conclude the GEW Uganda Conference programme, bringing Vision Group’s longstanding commitment to telling entrepreneurs’ stories into a shared space for learning, networking and business conversations.
For GEN Uganda, the collaboration demonstrates the value of connecting institutions with complementary strengths around a common purpose: helping entrepreneurs thrive.
A partnership that brings more to the entrepreneur
Entrepreneurs need access to practical knowledge, relevant networks and opportunities to learn from people who understand the realities of building a business. Meeting those needs calls for collaboration across the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
The partnership brings together GEN Uganda’s entrepreneurship networks and convening role, Enterprise Uganda’s business development expertise, and Vision Group’s media reach and PAKASA platform.
Together, these strengths create an opportunity to connect the stories that inspire entrepreneurs with conversations and relationships that can support their next steps.
Building on last year’s collaboration, the PAKASA Forum will once again form the culmination of the GEW Uganda conference gathering. Its inclusion connects two days of conference learning and engagement with a platform that has helped bring Uganda’s entrepreneurial experiences to wider audiences.
Three days of learning and connection
The GEW Uganda Conference will take place on 19–20 November, followed by the PAKASA Forum on 21 November, all at the Enterprise Uganda BDS Centre of Excellence in Butabika, Kampala.
The gathering will bring entrepreneurs, business leaders and ecosystem partners together to exchange skills, experiences and connections. It offers participants an opportunity to engage with fellow business owners, ask questions and explore ideas relevant to their businesses.
The events take place within Global Entrepreneurship Week Uganda, running from 16–22 November 2026, under the global theme “The World Needs What You Build.”
That theme recognises the contribution entrepreneurs make through the businesses, products and solutions they create. Uganda’s local message, “Entrepreneurs Thrive Here,” also places a responsibility on the institutions around them to build an environment where those ambitions can grow.
The PAKASA partnership is one way GEN Uganda and its partners are putting that commitment into practice.
