“Today, we recognise East Africa as one of Africa’s most dynamic and rapidly developing regions,” noted Moiz Hassanali, Project Leader of the ATE2025.

“With this Expo, we look forward to encouraging entrepreneurs to leverage the region’s young and growing population, wealth of natural resources, and expanding infrastructure for the benefit of their businesses and ultimately the region’s economies.”

Countries including Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania are demonstrating consistent GDP growth, positioning East Africa as one of the world’s fastest-growing regions. This economic expansion is creating an increasingly affluent middle class with growing demand for high-quality goods and services.

The region’s strategic location provides businesses with access to both emerging and developed markets, creating extensive trading opportunities for forward-thinking companies ready to capitalise on these advantages.
