The festival is expected to attract between 6,000 — 12,000 participants from across the country, including entrepreneurs, investors, development institutions and diaspora businesses. Participation will be both physical and virtual.
The festival will provide a platform for business training, access to finance, innovation and digital transformation, business exhibitions, market linkages, policy engagement and investment facilitation. It will also provide an opportunity for members of the Kenyan Diaspora to establish business linkages with local entrepreneurs and enterprises, explore investment and market opportunities, exchange knowledge and identify potential areas of collaboration and partnerships.
