Kenya's Tech Ascent: Accelerated Digital Maturation and Regional Leadership Ambitions (April 2025 Onwards)
Kenya's tech scene (April 2025 onwards) shows accelerated digital maturation, driven by government catalysis (National AI Strategy, ICT Authority Bill), and a focus on AI & data infrastructure (Safaricom/iXAfrica AI hub). Public-private partnerships are key, yet funding gaps like the "Series A crunch" and skills development remain challenges. Kenya is also asserting regional digital leadership by hosting events like the Connected Africa Summit, aiming to be an innovation hub for Africa.
