Kenya Investment Authority (Invest Kenya) and the Outsourcing Alliance of Kenya (OAK) have today signed a Cooperation Agreement to accelerate the growth of Kenya's Global Business Services (GBS), including Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES)

The strategic partnership establishes a collaborative framework to attract high-value investments by strengthening investment promotion, investor facilitation, policy advocacy, market intelligence, skills development, and international branding. It also reinforces the shared commitment of the public and private sectors to position Kenya as Africa's premier outsourcing destination.

As one of the world's fastest-growing industries, the Global Business Services sector presents immense opportunities for Kenya. Backed by a young and highly skilled workforce, a strategic location, competitive business environment, and expanding digital infrastructure, Kenya is well positioned to become a leading hub for global service delivery.

Through the Agreement, Invest Kenya and OAK will jointly manage an investor pipeline, undertake targeted investment promotion missions in key markets including the United States and Europe, facilitate investor establishment through streamlined services such as SEZ support and work permits, and implement a robust investor aftercare programme to drive long-term investment retention and expansion.

This partnership marks another significant step towards achieving Kenya's ambition of becoming Africa's preferred destination for investment, digital innovation, and high-value job creation.

Kenya Investment Authority, in collaboration with the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI), today hosted a high-level Public-Private Energy Investment Dialogue, bringing together government and private sector stakeholders to strengthen coordination of investments in Kenya's energy sector and accelerate the country's clean energy ambitions.

The dialogue highlighted Africa's role in the global energy transition. Kenya remains one of Africa's clean energy leaders, with more than 93% of its electricity generated from renewable sources, from geothermal, hydro, wind, and solar. As the future of industry, mobility, and economic growth is increasingly being powered by electrification, Kenya is accelerating investments in energy generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure to meet rising demand and support sustainable industrialisation.

Kenya offers significant investment opportunities across renewable energy generation, transmission infrastructure, battery energy storage systems, e-mobility, mini-grids, green hydrogen, energy efficiency, and clean energy manufacturing. Expanding the country's energy capacity is critical to powering industries, attracting investment, creating jobs, and strengthening Kenya's position as East Africa's preferred investment destination.

The dialogue brought together representatives from the Government of Kenya, Climate Envoy Ambassador Ali Mohamed, the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO), Geothermal Development Company (GDC), the Special Economic Zones Authority (SEZA), the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI), the Royal Danish Embassy, Business Sweden, the British High Commission, and private sector stakeholders, reaffirming a shared commitment to unlocking investments that will drive Kenya's clean energy future.

Between 2021 and 2025, East Africa attracted over US$4.1 billion in private capital across nearly 500 transactions, with Kenya remaining a regional leader in attracting venture capital and other growth financing.

Invest Kenya CEO, John Mwendwa, today hosted Christine Maina, CEO of the East Africa Venture Capital Association (EAVCA), and her team to reaffirm the strategic partnership between Invest Kenya and EAVCA. Our renewed partnership will focus on mobilising private capital into priority sectors, advancing investment policy reforms, strengthening market intelligence, and deepening public-private collaboration.

This afternoon, Kenya Investment Authority (Invest Kenya) held a strategic engagement with the Tourism Brand Repositioning Taskforce, led by Vice Chairperson Monali Shah and her team.

The discussions underscored the growing nexus between tourism and investment, recognizing that a strong destination brand not only attracts visitors but also creates opportunities for capital inflows, enterprise growth, product development, and innovation across key sectors of the economy.
