The Africa Forward Summit 2026 marks a defining moment for Kenya and the continent as Nairobi hosts one of the most significant Africa–France engagements on innovation, investment, and sustainable growth. Co-hosted by H.E. President William Ruto and H.E. President Emmanuel Macron, the summit will bring together Heads of State, global investors, business leaders, development partners, and innovators at the KICC on 11–12 May 2026. Under the theme “Africa–France Partnerships for Innovation and Growth,” the summit will focus on strengthening economic cooperation through private capital mobilization, technology, infrastructure, rural transformation, and the blue economy. The event also reflects a new chapter in Africa–France relations, being the first summit of its kind hosted in an English-speaking African country. Invest Kenya is proud to support this important platform that showcases Kenya as a leading destination for investment in Africa. Through strategic partnerships, policy reforms, and investor facilitation, Kenya continues to position itself as a gateway for global businesses seeking opportunities across the continent. @Bpifrance @MITIKenya @ForeignOfficeKE @FranceinKenya @frkenya_chamber

Together with President @EmmanuelMacron, we engaged with innovators at the University of Nairobi as part of the Africa Forward Summit. Our youth are the present and the future, and we are committed to laying the supportive foundation they need to transform their ideas into solutions for our diverse challenges.

🚨 BREAKING: Sky News projects the UK would have a hung parliament with Reform as the largest party if today's results were a general election

There is an escape route for Labour from certain disaster at the general election: use their Commons majority to ram through PR. It’s cynical, they’d never govern alone again, but it locks Reform out of No10. The left (Lab, Gr, LD) still have a majority over the right in the UK

Labour loss is now over 1,300 seats to reforms gain of over 1,400
