Kenya is launching a new industrial push, leveraging green energy and artificial intelligence to become a regional manufacturing hub. This initiative, spearheaded by the Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade and Industry Lee Kinyanjui, focuses on sustainability and technology.

• The country’s industrial transformation rests on three pillars: industrial infrastructure via County Aggregation Industrial Parks, digitalization and AI, and greening industries.
• Lee Kinyanjui highlighted green hydrogen as a key area for industrial decarbonization, with demonstration projects already underway around Olkaria.
• The Ministry is collaborating with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) to help local industries transition to low-carbon production.
• In the automotive sector, Kenya is reviving its vehicle assembly industry through the National Automotive Policy and E-Mobility Framework to attract investment in local assembly and electric mobility.
