President William Ruto officially opened the World Chambers Federation Africa Summit 2025 on Wednesday, a landmark event that brought together delegates from over 70 countries to discuss trade, investment, and economic growth in Africa.
The summit, held in Nairobi, underscores Kenya’s growing role as a hub for global business dialogue.
In his address, President Ruto emphasized his administration’s commitment to creating a more investor-friendly environment in Kenya.
“We are streamlining business processes to foster a more efficient and investor-friendly environment where enterprises can thrive,” he stated, sharing his remarks on his verified social media accounts.
The president highlighted ongoing efforts to enhance the ease of doing business, a key pillar of his economic agenda, by addressing the concerns of entrepreneurs through engagements with the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI).
The summit, organized by the World Chambers Federation, provides a platform for business leaders, policymakers, and chamber representatives to collaborate on strategies for sustainable economic development across the continent.
Delegates are expected to explore topics such as digital transformation, trade facilitation, and investment opportunities, with a focus on strengthening Africa’s position in the global economy.
President Ruto’s remarks come at a time when Kenya is pushing to attract more foreign direct investment and support local enterprises.
By working closely with KNCCI, the government aims to address bottlenecks in the business environment, including bureaucratic hurdles and access to financing, which have long been challenges for entrepreneurs.
The summit also offers an opportunity to showcase Kenya’s economic potential to international investors.
