➡️In a few days, Kigali will once again welcome the Africa CEO Forum, one of the continent’s most important platforms for public-private dialogue, investment, and deal-making. This year’s theme, “The Scale Imperative: Why Africa Must Embrace Shared Ownership,” speaks directly to the moment Africa is in. Fragmented success is no longer enough.

To compete globally, we must build larger markets, stronger value chains, deeper pools of capital, and companies with the ambition and capacity to operate across borders. For Rwanda, hosting the Forum reflects our ambition to serve as a gateway for investment, logistics, services, and innovation, the destination connecting global capital with African opportunity, and helping turn dialogue into action.

We look forward to welcoming business leaders, investors, policymakers, and partners from across Africa and the world to Kigali on 14–15 May.

➡️A new chapter begins. Visit Rwanda is proud to partner with Aston Villa FC as the Club’s Front-of-Shirt Partner, Exclusive Official Tourism Partner, and Official Coffee Partner.

This partnership gives us a powerful way to bring Rwanda closer to millions of people around the world, inviting them to visit, invest, do business and discover the energy and opportunity shaping our country.

As one of Africa’s fastest-growing economies (9.4% growth in 2025) and one of the continent’s easiest places to do business, Rwanda is creating new opportunities across tourism, investment, innovation and trade. Together with one of the Premier League’s most ambitious and historic clubs, we look forward to sharing that story with an even wider global audience.

➡️Rwanda's economy grew by 9.4% in 2025, outperforming projections and confirming the strength of our macroeconomic fundamentals.

The performance reflects consistent policy execution, prudent macroeconomic management, and sustained investment across productive sectors of the economy.

For businesses and investors, the signal is clear: we continue to provide a stable, predictable, and pro-business environment, anchored in strong institutions, ongoing reforms, and a clear long-term development vision.

➡️We are making steady progress in consolidating One Stop Center services onto a single digital platform: onestopcentre.rdb.rw. As part of this transition, business registration services go live on the platform effective 4 January 2026. Services already available include building permits and agro-processing licenses, with many more to be added in the coming months.

Centralizing digital services simplifies how investors and businesses access government services by reducing institutional fragmentation and providing a single, unified point of access. The new system will improve transparency and predictability, enable end-to-end digital submission and tracking of applications, and support faster, more consistent service delivery across institutions.

Thank you for your patience during this transition. A public awareness campaign will follow in early 2026 to support smooth adoption.
