The project seeks to strengthen partnerships between Kenyan and Swedish bioeconomy actors while boosting Kenya’s transition toward a sustainable, inclusive, and circular economy.

ABDK will identify and support 80 small and micro-enterprises that use plants, waste, and organic materials under four main clusters:

  • Value addition to primary produce and circular food systems,
  • Bio-based agricultural inputs
  • Bio-based industrial development
  • Sustainable bioenergy

The selected enterprises will receive tailored technical and business support, opportunities for collaboration with Swedish counterparts, and increased visibility in regional and global bioeconomy conversations.
