You should look out for it!

Moving on, the ‘Dream Lab facility’- a creative and inspirational space for pupils to thrive and achieve their dreams with tools like; coding, robotics, programming, virtual reality and computer engineering, has been donated to Salt River High school by its alumnus Nadine Maselle. She did this in partnership with the Facebook Community Leadership Program and the Dream Factory Foundation.

In order to boost the entrepreneurship community in Nairobi, Kenyan Entrepreneurs– Havar Bauck, Preben Wik, Jesper Hörnberg, and Joram Mwinamo, have come up with the initiative — ‘Kaleidoscope Africa’ to promote the growth of businesses in the region. Tagged ‘The Understanding Gap: Kenyan Startups vs. International VCs’, the forum will focus on preparing Kenyan startups with means to attract foreign venture capitalists- by bringing entrepreneurs, investors and managers from well exposed international tech company to share insights on related topics that the startups will benefit from.
