The event aims to match small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from China and Kenya.

The China Trade Week has seen a 25% rise in Chinese firms’ subscriptions from previous years, however, last year the turnout fell to 11,000 people from the recorded 16,500 in 2015 when it launched.

The Middle Eastern International Exhibition argued that the cause of the drop in numbers could be attributed to companies having already made connections from previous trade events.

Since 2015, Chin has been the largest exporter to Kenya, and the number of Chinese firms launching in the country is on the rise.
