In recent years, Kenya has risen as Africa’s foremost player in the technology sector, surpassing Nigeria to establish itself as the epicenter of innovation and technological advancement on the continent. This ascent is credited to various factors including pioneering mobile payment solutions, substantial investments in startups, enhancements in technological infrastructure, and steadfast government support.
Dubbed “Silicon Savannah” at times, Kenya’s dynamic tech scene is home to some of the most cutting-edge startups on the continent. The lack of formal infrastructure in Africa has acted as a catalyst for the explosion of technologies in the country. Benefiting from some of the world’s highest mobile internet speeds thanks to submarine fiber optic cables, Kenya is truly a connected economy. Its tech ecosystem, estimated at USD 1 billion, provides an attractive environment for companies, investors, and high-tech professionals, already hosting leading firms such as Facebook, Microsoft, IBM, and Intel.
Kenya offers numerous opportunities for Swiss companies capable of addressing African needs with sophisticated ICT solutions. A prime example is the revolutionary mobile payment service M-Pesa. This product has transformed even the most basic mobile phones into secure bank accounts capable of transferring funds without requiring significant expansion of banking infrastructure. Today, Kenyan fintech solutions are pioneering in cross-border payments and microfinance. Nearly half of the world’s registered mobile bank accounts are located in the region; startups like M-Pesa place Kenya at the forefront of the emerging fintech sector, to which Swiss companies have much to offer.
Similarly, with the establishment of the innovation hub iHub in Nairobi, Kenya kickstarted the proliferation of technological “hubs” across Africa. This sector provides Swiss companies with remarkable opportunities to engage with ICT professionals who understand the local context and can establish dynamic and fruitful partnerships.
Industry analysts predict continued growth in Kenya’s ICT market; ever-increasing connectivity is expected to generate a variety of opportunities for innovative Swiss companies.
Perfect Destination
The Kenyan government has played a key role in creating a conducive environment for technology companies. Policies favorable to startups and foreign investments have been implemented, bolstering entrepreneurs’ and investors’ confidence in the sector. The promotion of STEM fields and the government’s mandate for teaching basic coding skills from primary school are notable initiatives.
Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.

Core stories, the kind that frame much of a persona for much of a life, don’t just come running to the surface and present themselves the first time you look. No. Your heart needs to be sure over and over and over again that you really mean it when you say that you want to know who you are. And your heart needs to be sure over and over and over again that you will be compassionate when you do see it.
The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.
This is not a pursuit that can be done in a night, even though the awareness of it can be gained, in terms of the abstract understanding and the value, in a minute. Seeing the core stories upon which you have built your own persona is the summit, the epitome of personal healing. It can take decades and decades of extremely dedicated observation, and that is okay, because this is your work as much as anything else is worth your investment, if not more.
And so when we offer to you today a core story, a foundational aspect of the scaffolding of your personality, understand the enormity of it. You have earned this not from hard work or being a good girl, but because you have given permission for it in countless ways over and over again. Even when you have believed that a previous permission didn’t work very well. You are wrong about that, blatantly wrong. Every single time you have brought yourself to words or sharing or learning of any kind in the true intention for healing and freedom and joy you have been doing it every time without exception.
But in the same way that projects and wealth and children and writing books for that matter are long-term processes with phases that appear to be difficult or totally unproductive or even regressing they are all necessary steps in an evolution. And to keep on giving permission for wherever that evolution goes is your job. And to make sure that it occurs is ours.
A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table – Samsa was a travelling salesman – and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.
