Founded in 1958Unicongo (Union Patronale et Interprofessionnelle du Congo) is an employers' association governed by the 1901 Law.

Its members are grouped into 15 professional federations with a national vocation. Each federation has a board headed by a President, assisted by one or more Vice-Presidents. 

The Union represents private sector companies in the Congo and defends their interests with public and institutional authorities. In order to improve the business climate and contribute to the development of the Congolese economy, the Union informs, accompanies and advises these companies confronted with the mutations of an economy formerly dominated by the public sector, and today, strongly impregnated with the context of globalization.
