Kenya is steadily carving out its place as a continental leader in industrial and technological investment, with a clean energy at the center of its vision.
Speaking at Semafor’s The Next 3 Billion event, held on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, Investment, Trade and Industry Cabinet Secretary Lee Kinyanjui highlighted Kenya’s strategic roadmap for attracting investment and accelerating industrial growth.
He emphasized on the global interest in digital infrastructure, which includes AI data centers that will help grow and expand geothermal power generation and strengthen electricity transmission across the nation.
Kinyanjui also said they will support energy supply in industries and manufacturing as they will ensure reliable power supply, clean energy in tandem, secure long-term energy supply arrangements and provide clear, predictable rules for investors entering the market.
According to Kinyanjui, this investment will help to eliminate uncertainty and attract multinational corporations and regional investors who seek a stable environment for expansion. It also comes at a time when Kenya aims to anchor itself as a gateway for sustainable industrialization.
