Meet the CEO with KNCCI
KNCCI's key role in supporting Kenya’s business landscape!
We had the pleasure of hosting a "Meet the CEO" Breakfast Meeting in partnership with the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI).
Othmane CHAOUI, President of the French Chamber of Commerce Kenya, opened the session, setting the stage for an insightful conversation led by Ahmed Farah HSC, CEO of KNCCI.
Key takeaways from the discussion:
KNCCI’s Role in Kenya’s Business Landscape – Representing businesses across all 47 counties, KNCCI is committed to creating a thriving business environment by advocating for pro-business policies, facilitating dispute resolution, and supporting trade and investment.
Support for French Businesses – From policy representation and trade facilitation to investment support and market intelligence, KNCCI is an essential partner for French companies looking to expand in Kenya.
Business Outlook & Challenges – The KNCCI Business Barometer Report indicates that while over 65% of businesses expect growth, challenges such as rising input costs, financial barriers for women-owned enterprises, and climate adaptation hurdles remain.
Trade Missions & Partnerships – With ongoing trade missions in Zambia, Nigeria, and Ghana, KNCCI continues to drive strategic partnerships that open new markets for businesses.
A key highlight of the discussion was the upcoming World Chambers Federation Africa Summit—a pivotal platform to foster collaboration across Africa’s business ecosystem.
A big thank you to all who joined us for this engaging conversation! Let’s continue working together to strengthen business ties between Kenya and France
