Uganda is a very interesting and growing market in East Africa. Today close to 50 million people and a market-based economy rich in natural resources, and one of the fastest and youngest growing populations in the world. SWEACC's Green City Cluster will arrange a special meeting in Stockholm focusing on waste to energy and other renewable energy solutions in Uganda and East Africa. We will have stake holders and business people visiting from Uganda and East Africa and this will be a day to listen to new innovations and technologies but also to discuss actual business opportunities in East Africa.
During this event we will discuss waste management and waste to energy opportunities in Uganda and East Africa, and some of the solutions we provide from Sweden. Part of the event will be a business match-making session.
