The Regional Study Innovation Tour played a pivotal role in equipping them with practical exposure to East African markets. It provided valuable insights, fostered connections with regional industry leaders, and offered firsthand experiences of thriving businesses. “The visit to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) was incredibly inspiring. I discovered impactful programs that support #startups, and I am eager to pursue collaborations that can lead to strategic partnerships,” shared one of the innovators.
