With a flourishing ICT sector that has grown by an average of 10.8% every year since 2016 and is home to some of Africa’s most innovative start-ups, Kenya’s nickname of “Silicon Savanah” couldn’t be more fitting. Couple this thriving technology hub with impressive overall Internet penetration (approximately 85.2% of the population use the Internet) and COVID-19’s acceleration of digital adoption, and you have a country that is ready for the digital economy – not to mention serving as the gateway to the East Africa region.
