From 22 to 24 July 2026, the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi becomes East Africa’s premier destination for international trade, innovation, infrastructure, digital transformation, and sustainable energy. Four established exhibitions return under one roof, bringing together governments, industry leaders, investors, manufacturers, technology innovators, developers, buyers, and procurement professionals to accelerate business, investment, and strategic partnerships across the region.
Together, the 11th edition of China Trade Week Kenya (CTW Kenya), the 6th Africa Technology Show (AFTS), the 4th Africa Build Show Kenya (ABS Kenya), and the 3rd MEGAWATT Africa Kenya create East Africa’s largest integrated B2B marketplace, connecting global businesses with one of Africa’s fastest-growing economies.
Kenya is a regional leader in renewable energy, generating the majority of its electricity from geothermal, hydro, wind, and solar sources. With growing investments in clean energy infrastructure and rising demand across industries, the country presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to participate in East Africa’s energy transition and economic growth.
