London, UK – The prestigious UK–Africa Business Summit 2025 will take place on Friday, 12 September 2025, at the Royal Horseguards Hotel in London, bringing together political leaders, pioneering entrepreneurs, and global investors to forge new partnerships in trade, finance, infrastructure, and investment between the UK and Africa.

This year’s summit will spotlight visionary leaders including Nelson Tugume, Founder and CEO of Inspire Africa Group (IAG), who is at the forefront of Uganda’s value-added coffee revolution. Under Tugume’s leadership, Inspire Africa Group’s Inspire Coffee brand has transformed Uganda’s coffee industry from raw bean exports to globally competitive, premium coffee products. Investors partnering with IAG stand to gain access to a rapidly growing sector, an authentic community-driven model, and a leadership team dedicated to impact and transparency.

Nelson Tugume’s remarkable journey—from his entrepreneurial roots in rural Uganda to becoming a key driver of agricultural innovation—demonstrates the power of resilience and vision. As IAG aims to increase Uganda’s coffee production and exports while empowering rural communities, global investors are invited to join this mission of scale and sustainability.
