Barry Wojega – Grain and Oilseeds Consultant under GTTF at the workshop.
On Friday, 28 August 2026, A2i convened the GRASP Landscape Study Validation Workshop at the Golden Tulip in Kampala. The objective of the day was to gather expert feedback, strengthen ownership of the findings, and prepare the report ahead of its announcement at the EU-Uganda Business Forum.
The workshop drew participants from the Royal Danish Embassy, aBi Development, government (including the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries and the National Agriculture Research Organisation), the Uganda Development Bank, the external sector consultants, and the Access2Innovation team.
The day brought stakeholders together to review and validate the landscape study conducted under the Green Technology Transfer Fund (GTTF), part of aBi Development’s Green Agrifood Systems Programme with support from the Royal Danish Embassy.
The study maps where European and Danish green technology can partner with Ugandan enterprises to add value, reduce emissions, and create jobs.
“The GTTF will put up a clear call to match Ugandan market opportunities with proven European and Danish green technology. We hold Green and inclusive growth, climate-smart technology, and the circular economy as the running themes, with attention to opportunities for youth and women, “ tells William J. Nyakatura, Program Manager, A2i. He adds:
“The day clearly showed, that businesses that are selected through a catalytic investment unlocks and de-risks bigger deals with other financing landscape actors. Also, GTTF, aBi Dev and DRE focus on Cross-cutting priorities like credible data, certification and food-safety standards, value addition in the effort to increase investments in Uganda.”
