The Conference was a featured highlight of a 14-day East African Entrepreneurship Tour, organized by The Global Foundation for Education and Economic Mobility, Inc.

This 12-day immersive program facilitated intentional matchmaking between US delegates and Kenya’s premier business leaders. Leveraging GFEEM’s experience across 20 prior cohorts, the tour provided a trusted platform for American leaders to form substantive, long-term partnerships with mature enterprises and philanthropic organizations deeply rooted in the East African ecosystem.
