The road ahead after GES 2015

NAIROBI: The Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) 2015 was a defining moment for Kenya. It gave the country a global platform to showcase its readiness to do business with the rest of the world. And from the optimism expressed by none other than US President Barack Obama, it appears the world, too, is ready to do business with Kenya.

GES 2015 was every bit a platform to engage with the rest of the world as it was an opportunity to reflect on some of the issues holding the country back. It provided useful insights into how to revive sectors such as tourism and how to encourage deeper inclusion of youth and women in the work place.
