Six Kenyan delegates are set to travel to Germany for a seven-day pitching to investors who are looking for opportunities across Africa.

Delegation of German Industry and Commerce (AHK) country director Maren Diale-Schellschmidt reported that the individuals representing the six companies will travel to either Berlin, Hamburg, or the Ruhr region to join this year’s Start.up! event.

The companies were selected from a list of 80 to attend the event taking place between 14 October to 21 October.

“We are excited for Kenyan companies to participate in that international event where they will meet potential customers and investors as well as learn how to address the German market,” Diale-Schellschmidt commented.
