Nairobi has been attracting an increasing number of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSE), helping grow its economy.

MSE’s employ approximately 7.5mn people across Kenya and account for 80% of employment, creating about 45% of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP).

More than 92% of all new jobs that are created in the country throughout the year are MSE positions.

Business centres such as the two that are soon to be opened are becoming more appealing to MSE’s and a variety of other firms due to their flexibility, array of technology, and leisure qualities.

Kenya is rated the second most desirable conference and business tourism location in Africa, following South Africa.
