opportunities. I relocated to the Netherlands in 2007 and it has been my
passion since to source prospects that empower the Diaspora
community by continuously engaging policy setters on relevant matters
and sourcing business & investment opportunities for Uganda. Suitably, I

Joachim Kikomeko
MD, MSc. Medicine: Director of finance and sponsorships
I am originally from Uganda, but I have been living in the Netherlands since 2008. I am a practicing medical doctor after having graduated with a Master of Medicine from Amsterdam University Medical Centre. Currently pursuing further specialisation in internal medicine with special interest in oncology. I have great passion for my country Uganda and using my achievements and connections to create beneficial platforms for the Ugandans in the diaspora and those back home.
Next to my work as a doctor, I am one of the founders of the Uganda Netherlands Business Convention in 2017, a multi-disciplinary platform dedicated to advancing projects to bankable stages, raising capital, and accelerating the financial closure of deals. Before becoming the UNBC finance director, I served as the finance director for the Ugandan community in the Netherlands. Via our platform, we I urge all potential investors to consider investing in Uganda via different themes: (Feed Uganda, Light up Uganda, Improve Uganda’s welfare, Connect Uganda etc). Remember Uganda has a young population with a growing labour force, a highly valuable asset in an ageing world.
