Earlier, Robert Kabushenga, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Vision Group, the organisers of the forum, had revealed that the company had invited The Consortium for enhancing University Responsiveness to Agribusiness Development Limited (CURAD), to talk to participants.

They operate as an agribusiness innovation incubator geared towards creation of jobs and boosting incomes within the agricultural sector in Uganda.

“The first forum aimed at creating awareness about what people needed to do to earn a living so we brought people who described what ought to be done.

"This time, we have invited people who have what it takes for people to do the things that need to be done to be gainfully employed," he had said.
