Uganda is set to host a landmark event for Africa’s sustainable development. The National E-Mobility Expo 2025, themed “Powering Innovation, Accelerating Industrialization, and Shaping Africa’s Green Future,” will be held on September 18-19 at the state-of-the-art Kiira Vehicle Plant in Jinja. This pivotal gathering, building on the success of the inaugural 2024 expo, is designed as a powerful platform to accelerate Uganda’s transition from a consumer of technology to a “net source” of e-mobility solutions for the continent.
The Expo is a testament to the visionary leadership of H.E. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and a cornerstone of the nation’s National E-Mobility Strategy. It represents a decisive leap into a future where clean mobility powers national industrialization and economic growth. The event will not only showcase the remarkable progress made in the sector but also serve as a crucible for collaboration, bringing together policymakers, financiers, innovators, and the public.
Uganda’s e-mobility journey has already achieved significant milestones. The country has mobilized over $180 million in investment, established the capacity to produce 10,000 electric vehicles annually, and deployed more than 400 Charging and Swapping Stations Nationwide. A core pillar of this success is the 40% local content participation in manufacturing, which is powering domestic industrial growth, skills development, and energy security.
Hosted by Kiira Motors Corporation in partnership with the Secretariat for Science, Technology and Innovation (STI-OP), the Government Citizens Interaction Centre (GCIC), and the Presidential CEO Forum (PCF), the Expo will feature a dynamic two-day program. Delegates can expect an immersive experience, including strategic panel discussions on financing and infrastructure, exclusive tours of the Kiira Vehicle Plant, and a marketplace showcasing Ugandan innovation firsthand. A dedicated “Deal Room” will be curated to facilitate tangible partnerships and strategic investments, ensuring that dialogue translates into action.
The National E-Mobility Expo 2025 is a call to action to every stakeholder to collaborate, learn, and grow. We invite the entire nation to engage, explore, and be a part of this transformative journey as we position Uganda at the forefront of Africa’s green mobility movement.
