The curtain came down on the third edition of the Stanbic East African Business Summit in spectacular fashion, as Myko Ouma & Friends Band electrified the closing evening with a vibrant live performance last Friday.
Unlike previous editions held in Kenya and Tanzania, this year’s summit hosted by Stanbic Bank Uganda delivered a distinctly Ugandan experience, culminating in a unique after-party held at the scenic Entebbe Golf Club, alongside the prestigious Entebbe Open golf tournament.
Guests were treated to a powerful spoken word performance by Angel Kabera, followed by an unforgettable musical set from the acclaimed Myko Ouma and Friends Band.
Their performance opened with smooth jazz and Afro-soul renditions of global and regional hits. As the night deepened, the band transitioned from Afro-soul to West African Afrobeats, Dancehall, and finally soukoss, keeping the revelers dancing late into the night.
The lively after-party followed the awards ceremony for the Entebbe Open, which attracted over 400 golfers from across the region. Star players David Kamulindwa and Joseph Cwinyaai took home the tournament’s top accolades, capping off a weekend that seamlessly blended sport, business and entertainment.
The 19th Hole setup offered a relaxed, open-air ambiance with stunning views of greens and the priceless cool breeze from Lake Victoria. Guests also enjoyed premium BBQ offerings by The Meat Guy.
Speaking to media, Paul Muganwa, Executive Director and Head of Corporate and Investment Banking at Stanbic Bank Uganda, said the bank’s support for such events aligns with their purpose: ‘Uganda is our home, drive her growth’.
"Events like this are not just entertainment, they are so important to us because they allow us to connect with clients, shape ideas and support regional integration in dynamic and meaningful ways," Muganwa said.
The two-day summit, hosted by Stanbic Bank Uganda in collaboration with Standard Bank Group, brought together regional leaders, investors, and innovators to explore how deeper regional integration, infrastructure investment, financial innovation and cross-border collaboration can drive sustainable growth in East Africa.
