Kenya has long been known as the "Silicon Savannah," a hub of mobile money innovation and tech-savvy entrepreneurs. But in May 2026, Nairobi is set to take a massive leap forward.

AI Everything Kenya x GITEX Kenya is coming to the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) from May 19–21, 2026, and it’s not just another tech conference; it is the definitive platform for Africa’s AI breakthrough.

AI Everything Kenya & GITEX Kenya

A Landmark Moment for the Digital Economy

The numbers speak for themselves. AI is projected to add a staggering $2.4 billion to Kenya’s GDP by 2030. With the government’s National AI Strategy gaining momentum, the timing of this event couldn’t be better. Organized by the team behind GITEX GLOBAL, the world’s largest tech show—this event brings global expertise to the heart of East Africa.

What to Expect: More Than Just Robots

While "AI" is the headline, the event covers the entire ecosystem of next-gen technology. Whether you are a founder, a corporate executive, or a policymaker, there is something for everyone:

  • North Star Kenya: This is the heartbeat for startups. As Kenya continues to be a top destination for VC funding, North Star will connect visionary founders with over 100 global investors.

  • The Supernova Challenge: Think you have the next big idea? Breakthrough startups will compete for equity-free cash prizes in one of the world's most prestigious pitch competitions.

  • Sector Spotlights: From Fintech and Cybersecurity to Agritech and Healthtech, the event will showcase how AI is solving real-world African challenges—like securing the farm-to-fork supply chain and protecting digital assets in a mobile-first economy.

Why You Should Attend

  1. Global Networking: Meet 15,000+ tech executives and 500+ global enterprises and startups from over 75 countries.

  2. Policy & Progress: Attend high-level summits where ministers and regulators discuss data equity, talent pipelines, and the ethical frameworks needed to localize AI for emerging economies.

  3. Real-World Adoption: Move beyond the hype. Experience live demos of generative AI, robotics, and cloud infrastructure that are ready to be implemented today.

Shaping a Smarter, Sustainable Africa

Kenya already powers over 90% of its energy from renewables, creating a unique "Green AI" opportunity. AI Everything Kenya will explore how we can use this clean energy to power the data centres and AI factories of tomorrow, ensuring that Africa doesn't just consume technology but leads the world in sustainable innovation.
