What the edition delivered

highlights

The room

150 pre-screened decision-makers across 6 industries — founders, investors, operators, wellness leaders and cultural creatives, all in one room.

Conversations with context

Businesses met customers, investors, suppliers, distributors, technology partners and advisers around real commercial needs.

Wellness on the floor

Gym, Pilates and yoga sessions ran alongside the business program — because the best deals happen when people are well.

The partners

Honeycoin and Flexmoney led as diamond partners, backed by a floor of community partners across the Nairobi ecosystem.
