Diaspora tech conference to boost Kenyan startups

One Voice Consortium has organised the Diaspora Tech Partnership Conference slated for September 18 to 19 at Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi. The conference will bring together technology experts from across the world and exchange ideas with their Kenyan counterparts.

"The conference aims to foster collaboration, knowledge exchange and partnership between the Kenyan diaspora, local tech stakeholders, policymakers and government officials at the national and county level, investors and industry leaders," said Chiuri.

The conference's theme is "Harnessing the Power of Diaspora for Growth" and will help investors and industry leaders forge profitable partnerships.

Kenya-USATechForum (KUSAT) chairman Geoffrey Ouma said participants will engage with thought leaders and investors through in-person and virtual platforms during the two-day conference. "This will be an opportunity to harness the collective power of the Kenyan diaspora in driving innovation, entrepreneurship and technology development in Kenya," said Dr Ouma.

Konza City, Kenya Tourism Board, and EPZA are among Kenyan companies participating in the conference.
