    "content": "The Kenya Innovation Week 2023 - Commonwealth Edition organised by the Kenya National Innovation Agency (KeNIA) themed “Innovating to Unlock our Common Wealth,” is scheduled to take place from 27th November to 1st December 2023 at the Edge Convention Centre in Nairobi. Over the past two years, Kenya has successfully hosted the Kenya Innovation Week convening over 7,000 delegations from across the globe and attracting participants from over 70 countries. This annual gathering has become a vital platform for stakeholders, including Government bodies, innovators, start-ups, investors, development partners, the civil society, the media and the private sector to converge and advance innovation in the country and the border region. In 2022, His Excellency President (Dr) William Samoei Ruto took a monumental step by issuing a presidential directive to elevate the event to international status. It is on this basis that the Government, through the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports, bid to host the Commonwealth Edition, which will bring together participants from across the Commonwealth. The second event, the 6th Edition of the YouthConnekt Africa Summit, will be a four- day summit under the overarching theme: “Youth Innoveit Budapest, African Renaissance.” The event will take place from 8th to 12th December 2023 in Nairobi at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre. The event is organised by the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports and its agency, the Kenya National Youth Council, in close collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the YouthConnekt Africa Hub. The main goal of the Summit is to maintain a Pan-African platform with the aim of connecting African youth for socio-economic transformation in line with the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA). The Summit will create a platform for young people to connect, share ideas, and collaborate on projects that will have a positive impact on their community and the continent.
