Assistance to companies
The Trade and Investment section at the Embassy gives assistance to Dutch and Ugandan companies in many ways.
The following assistance is given to individual companies:
- information about: the business climate in Uganda, possible lawyers and accountants, how to do business, trade fairs, development cooperation programmes
- references to other sources of information
- names of potential agents, distributors, business partners, co-investors
information and advice about facilities offered by the Netherlands government to Netherlands companies - advice about how to handle certain business related problems
It goes without saying that the Trade and Investment section can only provide services that are not an intrinsic part of the work of the company itself or of the agent: e.g. the Trade and Investment section can suggest names of possible agents, but can not go into the selection process; the Trade and Investment section can give general market information, but will refer to other parties for detailed market research.
Apart from the assistance to individual companies, the Trade and Investment section takes the initiative to set up projects, to organize events and to bring Netherlands companies together in a coordinated approach to certain market segments.
For information about the macro economic developments in Uganda and figures/information concerning the bilateral economic and trade relations between Uganda and the Netherlands, please consult amongst others the following links:
