The first ever Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Sub-Saharan Africa comes to Nairobi from July 24-25. The summit will be held at the United Nations Gigiri offices with expected attendance of at least 2,000 delegates. US President Barack Obama is among the dignitaries expected to attend.
His coming to Kenya has great symbolism especially when viewed against the fact that this is the land of his ancestors. Barack Obama senior hailed from Kogelo village in Siaya County. Expectation is palpable across the country. Not only will the summit be used to showcase innovations, it will also present an opportunity to market our tourist attractions and also proclaim Kenya as a safe destination for tourism and an investment destination.
