Growing Kenyan entrepreneurship – the digital programmes and projects that are shaping the future

Francis Wainaina, Seacom East Africa Senior Product Manager, writes that despite being ranked as a leader in ecommerce and digital services, most of Kenya’s major online platforms are still foreign-owned. With the rise of Kenya’s digitally enabled start-ups, developing local entrepreneurship is pivotal to the success of an inclusive digital transformation journey. Kenya’s budding tech scene is ripe with opportunities for entrepreneurs who are willing to work hard, but even the most tech-savvy of them can benefit from extra support.
