It offers career opportunities across various fields, including trade facilitation, investment promotion, policy analysis, operations, and marketing. As part of its strategic initiatives, UFZEPA is expanding the number of free zones across Uganda, ensuring that companies benefit from tax incentives, modern infrastructure, and access to regional and global markets.

UFZEPA's business model focuses on enhancing Uganda's position as a leading investment and export hub in Africa, while encouraging sustainable practices.
