Kenya’s digital economy is becoming increasingly attractive to international investors following a visit by the United Kingdom-based firm OneNode.
The investment team was hosted by William Kabogo Gitau, cabinet secretary for Information, Communications and The Digital Economy.
During the meeting, the firm briefed the ministry on its plans to expand operations in Kenya. Gitau says this interest underscores growing international confidence in the country as a hub for technology and digital innovation.
OneNode is a technology and investment company accelerating the growth of transformative ventures across emerging markets.
The company combines capital, technology, and expert business guidance to help founders, enterprises, and ecosystems scale with speed, and sustainability.
Strategic investments, such as the digital superhighway and sustained digital skilling initiatives, are creating a conducive environment for technology-driven growth, says Gitau.
Kenya is currently betting on the digital economy to create career opportunities for its growing youth population.
The government has implemented several frameworks to ensure the successful growth of the sector.
These include the National ICT Policy, the Kenya Start-Up Act, the Data Protection Act, and the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act.
