We are excited to share with you an incredible opportunity to participate in the upcoming Madaraka Day Celebration being held by the Government of Kenya. This year's celebration will be themed around MSMEs, Cooperatives, Trade, and Revenue, and will feature a weeklong series of events, including the 3rd Kenya International Investment Conference (KIICO 2023).

The conference, which is being organized by the Ministry of Investments, Trade, & Industry (MITI) in collaboration with Kenya Investment Authority (KenInvest), will take place from May 29th to May 31st, 2023, in Nairobi, Kenya. It will bring together over 2000 delegates from government, private sector, development partners, and non-state actors, as well as key Africa trading blocs.

One of the key aims of the conference is to develop the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) implementation matrix & Roadmap that will open up the 1.3-billion-person market in Africa for Kenya's Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and position Kenya as the gateway to Africa. The conference will feature the Africa Private Sector Alliance (APSA) Forum, which will bring together the top 100 businesses in Africa to deliberate on private sector growth and development in the continent.

As a woman-led business, you have a unique opportunity to participate in this event and showcase your products and services to a global audience. You will have the opportunity to network with like-minded entrepreneurs, learn about investment opportunities, and present your own bankable investment projects developed in partnership with Africa Exim Bank.

I encourage you to take advantage of this unique opportunity to be a part of a larger community of business owners, investors, and industry leaders.
