Breakfast session: Unlocking Opportunities within TRIFIC Special Economic Zone
We recently concluded our breakfast session, "Unlocking Opportunities within TRIFIC Special Economic Zone," hosted in partnership with TRIFIC SEZ.
The engagement featured a presentation by TRIFIC’s leadership and business development team, followed by a guided tour of their facilities.
Key takeaways from the session include:
- Kenya as the gateway for regional growth: Kenya combines a services-led economy, strong digital export momentum, and strategic access to east african community, common market for eastern and southern Africa, and African continental free trade area markets to serve as a regional management base.
- Significant SEZ tax advantages: businesses benefit from highly favorable economic terms, including 10% corporate tax for the first 10 years and exemptions on import duties.
- Built-in operational resilience: TRIFIC provides grade A workspace supported by dedicated power infrastructure, 10 internet service provider choices, and a fibre architecture to ensure seamless business continuity.
- A proven platform for French enterprises: practical success stories, such as teleperformance growing its Kenya workforce past 2000 employees, demonstrate how French and international companies can leverage local talent and SEZ frameworks to scale.
- Comprehensive ecosystem: an integrated environment combining commercial workspace, residential developments, retail, and 30% landscaped green areas with EDGE-certified sustainability practices.
