The Kenya Innovation Week was a remarkable event that brought together various key players in the entrepreneurship ecosystem from different sectors, including academia, development partners, entrepreneurship support organizations, innovators, founders, and aspiring future innovators. The aim was to harmonize all their efforts towards unlocking the country's wealth through innovation. As Dr. Tonny K. Omwansa, PhD, the CEO of Kenya National Innovation Agency (KeNIA), aptly put it, innovation only counts when it has a positive impact on people. We eagerly look forward to seeing all the discussions translate into actions that create a conducive environment for innovators to flourish. #Jasiri4Africa #KIW2023

And the selection conference has just ended. Here are just some of the few take-aways for my fellow entrepreneurs: 1. If you don't have a standard for yourself, you have no record to beat. And if you have no record to beat, you can not excel 2. Your network is your net worth 3. Courage isn't the absence of fear. It's moving forward despite that fear 4. Get up, show up and get counted 5. Come as you are and we'll take you as you come 6. Don't get married to your idea 7. Good luck is for failures; break a leg 8. Be intentional in your connection 9. If you go through the high grass where the elephant has already gone through, you don't get soaked in the dew 10. Data is your eye underwater As we await the results, this has been one of the most amazing conferences I have ever attended. And I was lucky to get awarded as well 😄 Thank you Team Jasiri4Africa #Jasiri4Africa #JasiriSC23
