\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
The flag-off marks a key step in Kenya\u2019s preparations for the regional exhibition, which brings together businesses and entrepreneurs to showcase their products, explore market opportunities and strengthen cross-border trade.<\/p>\n
The trade fair will be held at the Gikondo Expo Grounds in Kigali under the theme \u201cAdvancing Regional Value Chains in Leather and Horticulture.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The event provides a platform for Kenyan MSMEs to present their products to a wider regional market, build business networks and explore opportunities for partnerships and commercial growth across East Africa.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
The flag-off was held at the MSEA Kariobangi Centre of Excellence in Nairobi, with the Micro and Small Enterprises Authority (MSEA) represented by its leadership, including CEO Henry Rithaa, alongside representatives from business associations and private-sector<\/strong><\/em> organisations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
 <\/p>\n
The participation of Kenyan enterprises underscores the importance of supporting small businesses to access regional markets, improve competitiveness and contribute to economic growth through trade and value addition.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
As the delegation heads to Rwanda, attention will be on how Kenyan entrepreneurs can use the exhibition to establish new business relationships, expand their customer base and position locally made products for greater regional visibility.<\/p>\n
