Senior participants from the Kenyan private sector, the international business community, the Kenyan government, media and international institutions are set to join a high-level breakfast meeting organised by The Economist Events on September 30th at the Serena Hotel in Nairobi.

‘Innovating in Africa: Working together to nurture innovation and optimise growth’, will explore the role of the state and private sector in nurturing and furthering innovation across the African continent.

The event which will take place between 7 and 11am on September 30th 2014 is part of a wider programme of meetings that are taking place in Jakarta, Seoul and Brazil as part of the ‘Look Ahead’ programme which is produced by The Economist and sponsored by GE. Look Ahead provides a daily look at the innovations transforming global business.

The high-level rosta of attendees, drawn from Africa, the US and the UK will also draw on successful examples from Kenya, a country where innovation, particularly within the ICT sector, has spurred substantial growth over recent years.

“With Kenya being the pioneer of one of the most developed mobile money transfer systems in the world, the country is a hub for all things technology in Africa, hence the choice of Nairobi as the venue for this discussion,”said Marianne Mazou, Events Director, MEA, The Economist Events.
