Foreword
Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs), innovation, investment and entrepreneurs
play pivotal roles in Kenyan economy, creating employment opportunities and
improving people’s livelihood. As growth accelerates in the region, it generates with
it new opportunities and challenges. When it comes to future global investment
strategies, Kenya is high on the agenda for investors and entrepreneurs. The region
has become a more attractive investment destination over the last decade and is
expected to sustain its long term potential as the gateway to East Africa.
However, it is generally recognised that SMEs and entrepreneurs face unique
challenges, which affect their potential, hence diminish their ability to contribute
effectively to the regional’s sustainable development and increase investors R.O.I.
Enterprises in Kenya face overwhelming challenges including: lack of managerial
skills, inadequate capital and access to finance, unsupportive business policies and
regulatory environment, increase market competition, fast technological
advancement, inadequate infrastructure, lack of market information, insights and
industry standards.
This two days high level thought provoking and knowledge enriching high level
conference aim to engage regional industry players, government representatives,
entrepreneurs and businesses leaders to debate and establish solutions that will seek
to foster sustainable economic growth prosperity, facilitate financial deepening,
increased SME competitiveness and create employment opportunities in Kenya. The
event will create a platform for participants to share perspectives, insights,
knowledge; opportunities and to network.
