Joyce Kakuramatsi Kikafunda, the High Commissioner of Uganda to India, shared this information during the G20 meeting of South African countries held in Delhi.
“The world is rapidly embracing digitalization because it represents the future, and if you want to grow, you must embrace this change. We are also transitioning towards a digital economy. During this process, representatives from IRIS approached me and expressed their intention to do business in Uganda. After considering their offer, I found it suitable and gave them the green light,” Kikafunda informed the National Chronicle.

Our government will support them in establishing their manufacturing units and provide all possible facilities.”
