​GTTF is now officially launched

The Danish Embassy in Uganda launched the Green Technology Transfer Fund (GTTF) and the Landscape Assessment of Priority Agricultural and Agro-Industrial Value Chains in Uganda report last week, Wednesday, 21 October 2026, at the Uganda-EU Business Forum at Serena Hotel, Kampala.
​
The launch was officiated by General (Rtd) Hon. Wilson Mbasu Mbadi, State Minister for Trade, and H.E. Signe Winding Albjerg, the Danish Ambassador to Uganda, in the presence of representatives from the European Union Delegation to Uganda, aBi Development and Access2innovation.
​
The Landscape Assessment Report highlights strategic investment opportunities across 4-6 of the 10 priority value chains to strengthen Uganda’s agricultural competitiveness and drive sustainable agro-industrialization through the adoption of European and Danish green technologies. The value chains include coffee, grains and animal feeds, dairy, piggery, fish and aquaculture, horticulture, poultry, cassava, and agro-waste.
​
The GTTF will support investments across the 10 priority value chains by providing Ugandan agribusinesses with 20-30% subsidies to access green technologies. This will strengthen agro-productivity and climate resilience while enhancing competitiveness and driving inclusive agro-industrialization in line with Uganda’s Tenfold Growth Strategy.

​Are the East African Markets something for you?​

Perhaps you have already explored the East African markets. Perhaps you have not considered them yet. But how do you find out whether there is a real market for your solutions? Who should you partner with? And how can you take the first steps without taking unnecessary risks?

On Wednesday, 25 November, RAISE invites you to a morning session at Kirstinelund (East Jutland) with Access2innovation. Meet CEO Henrik Anker-Ladefoged and gain practical insights into the opportunities in East Africa’s growing markets, particularly in agriculture, energy, food, and more efficient resource utilization.

  • Gain insights into customer needs and local market conditions.
  • Identify relevant partners and networks in East Africa.
