To all producers, entrepreneurs, creatives and friends in Rwanda,

I’m very much looking forward to being back in Rwanda from 4 to 18 May 2026.

During this visit, I will be working on new stories, contacts and partnerships for Made in Rwanda TRIBUNE, the independent platform I founded to share positive, fact-based stories about Rwanda’s tourism, trade, exports, investment, innovation, culture and growth with international audiences.

I would love to hear from people and businesses who are actively shaping the Made in Rwanda story.

Are you producing something in Rwanda? Coffee, tea, food products, fashion, design, crafts, art, hospitality experiences, tourism services, cultural projects or other locally made products? Or do you know inspiring producers, companies or initiatives I should visit?

Please feel free to send me your recommendations or invite me to visit, meet, learn more and explore whether there could be a story or collaboration.

My route will include Kigali and several regions across Rwanda, so I would be happy to see what is possible during the trip.

Looking forward to reconnecting, discovering new stories and meeting the people behind Made in Rwanda.
