Developments in Kenya's Technology and Manufacturing Sectors - July 2025

Kenya is set to host the first-ever Pan-African Artificial Intelligence Conference (AIPAC 2025) in Mombasa from August 25-28, aiming to position the country at the forefront of global AI conversations. This comes as Kenyan technical colleges have developed the capacity to produce vehicle components meeting industry standards, opening doors for partnerships with global automotive manufacturers and positioning Kenya as a regional manufacturing hub. Furthermore, Kenya is rapidly transitioning to a cashless economy, driven by the widespread adoption of mobile money and digital payment systems, enhancing trust, efficiency, and financial inclusion for businesses and consumers.
