Following a successful event in Kenya in 2023, Estonia’s premier tech conference, Latitude59, is set to return to Nairobi in 2024 with another satellite event.

Partnering once again with Tech Safari, the event is on the lookout for collaborators who share the vision of nurturing and propelling Kenya’s startup ecosystem to new heights.

It presents an open invitation for local and international stakeholders to unite and contribute to the sustainable development and competitiveness of the local market, workforce, and business environment.
