Inauguration of the National Planning Committee for the Global Data Festival & Kenya Space Expo & Conference 2026 The Director General of the Kenya Space Agency(KSA), Brig. Hillary Kipkosgey, this morning attended a high-level breakfast meeting held at the Edge Convention Centre, Nairobi, to officially inaugurate the National Planning Committee for the Global Data Festival and the Kenya Space Expo & Conference 2026. The meeting brought together key national and international partners including the office of the Special Envoy on Technology, Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), and the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data (GPSDD). Among the distinguished guests were Dr. Macdonald Obudho, DG of KNBS, and Ms. Jenna Slotin, CEO of GPSDD. The formation of this Planning Committee marks a significant step in coordinating the preparations for the two major events scheduled for June 2026. The Committee will provide strategic direction and oversee all aspects of planning and execution. During the event Brig Kipkosgey affirmed that KSEC naturally aligns with the Global Data Festival, noting that discussions about global data cannot be complete without data from space. He further committed that KSA will play its full part in ensuring the success of the Global Data Festival and the Kenya Space Expo & Conference 2026, and expressed gratitude to all partners for their continued collaboration.

I love how China works! They are great at adopting fast and localizing solutions quickly, making it ready for production so fast , iterating on human feedback and improving……quite amazing…which might be contrary to the USA who focus more on innovation / invention…
