Executive Welcome

The Trade and Investment Track at the KUKHA Conference 2026 marks a strategic evolution of the platform, reflecting a deliberate shift from a predominantly development- and technical-focused agenda towards a stronger emphasis on business, trade, and investment. In response to the changing global donor landscape and the growing imperative for sustainable, locally anchored healthcare solutions, this year's conference will spotlight commercial opportunities that drive job creation, innovation, and long-term wealth generation.

Participants with bankable projects and investable opportunities in the Healthcare and Life Sciences sector will have the opportunity to pitch their propositions, with selected high-impact opportunities showcased at plenary level to a distinguished audience of policymakers, investors, and industry leaders.

In parallel, UK companies, leveraging the UK's globally recognised strengths in life sciences, underpinned by its Industrial Strategy, world-class Research and Development ecosystem, and leadership in pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, digital health, and advanced manufacturing, will be actively seeking partnerships, market entry opportunities, and investment prospects across Kenya and the wider region.

To facilitate tangible outcomes, dedicated Deal Rooms will run alongside the main programme, providing curated matchmaking opportunities between project sponsors, investors, UK businesses, and development.
