Dr. Edwin has spent the last 20 years passionately championing the cause of entrepreneurship across Africa and beyond. A seasoned leader with a heart for youth empowerment, he has dedicated his life to equipping the next generation of innovators, creators, and business leaders with the tools, skills, and networks they need to thrive. Through his relentless drive, he has become a beacon of hope and transformation for thousands of young entrepreneurs across the continent.
At the core of his work lies the Chamber of Young Entrepreneurs, a vibrant private sector initiative with continental and global reach, aimed at cultivating a sustainable culture of entrepreneurship among youth. While headquartered in Uganda, the Chamber’s mission transcends borders—fueling a bold vision where young people across Africa lead the charge in launching, growing, and scaling impactful businesses that shape economies and transform communities.
Beyond Business: A Movement for African Innovation and Transformation
Under Dr. Edwin’s stewardship, the Chamber has become a hub of innovation and empowerment, guided by the powerful philosophy: Identify, Train, and Seed. With initiatives like the Future Entrepreneurship Series (FES), Women Entrepreneurship Series (WES), the Startup Enterprise Toolkit, and a dynamic Online Mentorship Program, the Chamber reaches thousands with practical tools, inspiration, and access to real market opportunities.
The Chamber also empowers young leaders through Skills Development, District Business Bureaus, Networking Summits, and a growing Online Resource Library. From regional hubs to global forums, its programs ignite ambition and create lifelong connections between emerging entrepreneurs and experienced mentors, investors, and decision-makers.
Now, with a bold vision to establish Africa’s first School of Entrepreneurship—a $500,000 dream campus for innovation, research, and manufacturing—Dr. Edwin is setting the stage for a new era of African entrepreneurship. This is more than a school; it is a launchpad for the next generation of changemakers and trailblazers.
Driven by a deep belief in the potential of Africa’s youth and backed by strategic partnerships, the Chamber continues to raise a new wave of business elites—leaders not only of companies, but of national transformation. Dr. Edwin’s story is one of vision, commitment, and purpose. His legacy is not just in the businesses started, but in the lives empowered and the future reshaped.
