Description
The objective of the forum is to strengthen EU-Kenya trade and investment by leveraging digital transformation as a catalyst for enhancing trade efficiency, increasing market access and promote sustainable and inclusive growth. By focusing on digitalisation, the forum aims to equip businesses in both regions with the knowledge and tools to leverage technology for greater competitiveness and inclusivity in the global marketplace.
The event will also mark the official launch of the EuroCham, a network of EU and Kenyan companies operating in Kenya. In addition to serving as a platform for exchange between existing and potential EU companies operating in Kenya, the network aims to further strengthen EU-Kenya business cooperation. It will advocate at the highest level for an improved business and investment climate and promote increased trade and investment between the EU and Kenya. The event will also include a celebration of Europe Day, culminating in a festive cocktail reception.
Representatives from the Africa IP SME Helpdesk will be present in Nairobi, Kenya. They will provide support to any potentially interested companies with their internationalisation processes, helping them avoid risks and raise awareness on the benefits of protecting their intellectual property rights in Africa.
