“Latitude59 Kenya is no longer just an event. We are here to stay. Our goal is to dig deeper, learn more, and continue building the local ecosystem. The third edition proved that when European and African ecosystems meet as equals, the boundaries of what’s possible disappear.”
Kaspar Kitsing, the project lead for the third Latitude59 satellite event in Africa
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.
