SUMMARY

1. Introduction

U.S. Embassy Nairobi requires more direct engagement with key influencers in the Creative Economy Space. Recent developments in Kenya’s Creative Economy space, including the investment in Kenya by U.S. companies such as Hollywood studios, the Grammys, and the NBA highlight an opportunity to energize and empower capable entrepreneurs in the market in collaboration with established Creative Economy leaders. Local innovators cooperating with American partners can produce more films in Kenya, increase and internationalize Kenya’s music business, monetize Kenyan leadership in sports to build job-creating leagues and marketing initiatives, strengthen innovation in the food industry and agricultural trade, and combine the growing startup scene in Kenya with creators and tech entrepreneurs to build up new industries.
