Hand in Hand Eastern Africa Entrepreneurs Pitch in Milan, Italy
Hand in Hand Eastern Africa was proudly represented at a high-level investor forum in Milan, Italy, where three entrepreneurs from the Unlocking Potential and Growth of Micro Enterprises in Kenya, an Accelerator Programme — funded by Applied Invest — showcased their innovative businesses and pitched to potential investors.
This international platform provided the entrepreneurs with a rare and valuable opportunity to:
- Pitch their enterprises to global investors and industry leaders.
- Build strategic partnerships that can accelerate growth.
- Access new markets beyond Kenya and expand their customer base.
- Gain business exposure and visibility on an international stage.
For the entrepreneurs, this was more than just a networking event — it was a chance to demonstrate the resilience, creativity, and potential of Kenyan enterprises to a global audience. The experience reinforced Hand in Hand Eastern Africa’s belief that market access and investment opportunities are central to building resilient enterprises that generate sustainable livelihoods and drive inclusive economic growth.
By participating in Milan, these entrepreneurs not only showcased their products but also positioned themselves for long-term investment and market expansion. Hand in Hand Eastern Africa remains committed to supporting them in turning these new connections into lasting partnerships that strengthen Kenya’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
