The Mt Kenya Innovation Hub is proud to host the 4th Edition of the Mt Kenya Innovations Week, continuing the journey of fostering innovation and entrepreneurship since 2021. The theme of this year’s event, “4th Industrial Revolution: Creating Jobs, Fueling Smart Agriculture, and Climate Action,” aligns with the global pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Kenya’s Vision 2030, and the COP27 deliberations. It reflects the increasing role of innovation in addressing climate change, job creation, and sustainability, in the context of the rapid technological advances of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). The Mt Kenya Innovation Week has grown in scope and impact since its inception. In the 2022 edition, insights from the evaluation report showed that over 1,000 women and youth were trained in critical areas like Business Canvas, design thinking, digital marketing, and cash flow management. In addition, the event received 167 submissions in the innovation contest and 103 hackathon submissions, with the top 5 ideas being awarded. This progress demonstrates how the Innovation Week has become a grassroots platform for innovation and entrepreneurship, equipping participants with the skills, tools, and networks to grow and scale their ideas. This year’s edition introduces three diverse hackathons, industrial visits, exhibitions, panel discussions, and awards to celebrate and accelerate digital transformation, job creation, and climate resilience.
