AI EVERYTHING KENYA x GITEX KENYA Nairobi

AI EVERYTHING KENYA x GITEX KENYA is East Africa’s leading technology exhibition and part of the prestigious GITEX global series, renowned worldwide for its groundbreaking innovation platforms.

Held annually at the iconic Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in the heart of Nairobi, the event takes place at one of the city’s architectural landmarks and most accessible venues, situated in the vibrant capital of Kenya.

Organized by Dubai World Trade Centre L.L.C., an internationally recognized event organizer, GITEX has become a global benchmark for technological innovation – from Dubai to Morocco, and now Nairobi. The exhibition brings together Africa’s digital elite with leading global innovators – including governments, start-ups, and established tech companies.

The event focuses on practical applications and future potential of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI, Big Data, Cloud Solutions, Cybersecurity, Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0, as well as EdTech, Greentech, Agritech, Fintech, and Digital Health. More than just a showcase, the exhibition is a catalyst – a platform for collaboration, policy dialogue, investment, and cross-border innovation.

Key highlights include dedicated formats such as the AI Development Summit, which brings together policymakers, researchers, AI pioneers, and investors in a high-level forum. Core topics include ethical frameworks, data sovereignty, and talent development.

In the Agritech & Food Security segment, technologies are presented across the entire agricultural value chain – from precision sensor technology and financial tools for small-scale farmers to advanced processing systems. The Security & Cyber Agenda addresses Africa’s digital sovereignty, with a focus on identity management, cybersecurity training, and the protection of critical infrastructure.

Exhibitors span a wide range of sectors – from technology and financial services to education, agriculture, healthcare, and public institutions. The attendee profile is equally diverse: ministries, C-level tech executives, academics, developers, entrepreneurs, NGOs, and international investors use the event as a platform for networking, business development, and knowledge exchange.

AI EVERYTHING KENYA is part of the global GITEX movement, which has already built technological bridges in Dubai and North Africa (GITEX AFRICA). With Nairobi as a key location, Kenya’s position as a digital innovation hub on the continent is further reinforced – driven by a young, tech-savvy population, a thriving start-up ecosystem, and targeted government digitalization initiatives.

The venue, the Kenyatta International Convention Centre, is centrally located and easily accessible from both Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and downtown Nairobi. Surrounded by government buildings, hotels, and international organizations, the KICC provides the ideal setting for an event that not only showcases Africa’s digital transformation – but actively shapes it.

The AI EVERYTHING KENYA x GITEX KENYA will take place on 3 days from Tuesday, 19. May to Thursday, 21. May 2026 in Nairobi.
