Latitude59 returns to Nairobi December 3-5, 2025 for our biggest African event yet. We’re bringing together 3,000+ participants – 1,500 entrepreneurs, 350 investors, ecosystem leaders, and policymakers from across Africa and beyond.
Latitude59 Kenya 2025 is more than a conference. It’s an ecosystem engine – designed to spark long-term partnerships, scale meaningful ventures, and turn ambitious ideas into reality. Ready to build the future? Join in, be bold and build the world you want!
With 50 million people, loads of young ambition and fast-growing tech-savviness, Kenya has a lot of potential to become the next up-and-coming startup country on the global radar. The goal of this pioneering Latitude59 satellite event is to support the growth, impact, and global recognition of the local startup ecosystem, tech talent, and business environment.
Latitude59 x Kenya is a platform for African and international founders to find valuable connections, discuss innovation, and overcome obstacles with the support and know-how of the global community. We build bridges and import the know-how of global industry experts to increase sustainability and competitiveness of the local market, workforce and business environment.
Latitude59 Kenya 2025 is designed with one key question in mind: How do we help more founders succeed? Every part of the event is built to offer practical knowledge, peer inspiration, and real-world connections for early-stage entrepreneurs across Africa. We’ll focus on sectors where African founders are already making an impact and where there’s massive potential to solve global challenges such as Digital & Green Innovation, Carbon-Financed Business Models, AgriTech & Food Systems, and more.
