Diaspora Entrepreneurship: The Coffee Business | Expert Discussion

October 24 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Moderated by Daniel Engole, this expert discussion explores the opportunities that exist for Ugandans in the diaspora across Uganda’s coffee value chain.

Tom Kalyesubula, founder of Littlefarms in Bavaria, Germany, and Felix Ndugwa, owner of Karibu Coffees Cafe in the USA, share practical experiences building coffee businesses across borders and explore opportunities in sourcing, exporting, roasting, branding, distribution and investment.

The conversation also looks at how diaspora networks, market access, capital and business experience can help connect Ugandan coffee to consumers around the world.
