Let’s get started

The moment we have all waited for has arrived. Last week the Ministry of Industry, Technology and Enterprise Development (MoITED) signed the contracts enabling component 2 of the Kenya Industry and Entrepreneurship Project (KIEP) to start. KIEP is a USD 50 million cutting edge initiative that will support innovation and productivity growth in selected private sector firms. The programme consists of different components.
Component 2, also known as the SME Linkages and Upgrading Program, focuses on strengthening the managerial and technical capabilities within 250 Kenyan SMEs, to enable them to better compete for local and international market opportunities. The component seeks to support SMEs in improving their use and access to technology, and encourage innovation and productivity improvements at a firm level through grants and business development support.
