Startup Grind Nairobi is an event where entrepreneurs and innovators can come together to network, share their stories, and learn from each other. The goal of the event is to give people the opportunity to talk about startups and entrepreneurship in a comfortable setting. It also gives entrepreneurs a chance to share valuable lessons learned with each other. One of the best parts about Startup Grind Nairobi is that it’s completely free!

The Impact Investment Conference

The impact investment conference is one of the top events in Kenya. It will be held on March 27th and 28th at Serena Hotel, Nairobi. This event will bring together different stakeholders to discuss the role of impact investing in achieving sustainable development goals and improving livelihoods.

Impact investing is a concept that has been popularized by the United Nations since it was first introduced in 2015. Most people have heard about it but are not really sure what it entails. Impact investments go beyond just making money and can have a social or environmental purpose. They can either make money or lose money, but they should always create some kind of change for society or the environment.
