The Kenya–Sweden bioeconomy business trade fair brings together businesses, researchers, and policymakers from both countries to strengthen collaboration in the bioeconomy sector. The event provides a platform to showcase bio-based products, form partnerships, and explore market and investment opportunities to support sustainable economic development.

The trade fair involves bio-enterprises across four clusters identified in SEI’s Advancing Bioeconomy Development in Kenya (ABDK) project:

Value addition to primary produce and circular food systems: processed and packaged foods, upcycled food products, bio-based materials derived from food by-products, and other products that reduce loss and waste in the food system;
Bio-based agricultural inputs: organic fertilizers, bio-stimulants, biological pest control products, soil enhancers, and other inputs derived from renewable biological resources;
Bio-based industrial development: bio-plastics, bio-based packaging, natural fibre products, industrial materials produced from biomass, and other renewable-resource-based industrial goods;
Sustainable bioenergy: improved cookstoves, biomass briquettes, pellets, biogas units, and other clean, efficient, and renewable bioenergy products.

What to expect:

Business exhibitions: Kenyan, Swedish, and Nordic enterprises will exhibit market-ready products across the four clusters:
Policy and market insights: SEI researchers and partners will share evidence on trends in bio-based production and trade.
Matchmaking sessions: B2B meetings to support business founders in connecting and exploring partnerships and investment opportunities.
Networking sessions: Connect with entrepreneurs, investors, research institutions, and policymakers in the bioeconomy.
