BUSINESS AND ENTREPREURSHIP FORUM

KCA UNIVERSITY 1^ST ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND BUSINESS WEEK FORUM 

From( L-R): Joy Aketch, Hashmukh Dawda and Ronny Osumba

KCA University concludes its inaugural business week today at the University main campus, Ruaraka. The business week concept is a brain child of Centre for entrepreneurship and Leadership (CE&L), a department within the University whose focus is promoting entrepreneurship among students and faculty.

 The week is an opportunity to show case the initiatives KCA University is undertaking with the current and former students to create employment.  The center nurtures students to identify entrepreneurial ideas and business solutions that would be the next big business venture with a sustainable competitive advantage.  

The forum also provides students, alumni, partners and sponsors an opportunity to come together to network for business mentorship and encouragement. Seasoned successful entrepreneurs are at hand to support the exhibitors. Among them Ronald Osumba - Head of Government Relations at Safaricom Ltd. whose youthfulness has been an inspiration to the audience. The other key speaker is Dr. Hashmukh Dawda (Chairman-House of Dawda), whose story is one of the rugs to riches and a true example that determination and dedication leads to prosperity. 

 This is a very important initiative that the university has pioneered to bring together its competence and experience in capacity building and business incubation, while seeking partners who will mentor and fund the business ideas from KCA University students and other youth attracted to the Centre.

 The institution believes that it can establish strong partnerships in the areas of ICT and Business. KCA University through some of its students has developed great innovation and ideas that need support to see the light of the day.

KCA University calls upon the stakeholders to support us and help transform this event into a National forum where Academia, entrepreneurs, industrialists, Government, and financial institutions would regularly meet to discourse and generate timely and innovative solutions to transform this country.

Sponsors of the forum includes- Youth Fund, Business Networking International, Rafiki Deposit Taking Micro Finance, ABCIC, Youth T.V, Directorate of Youth Affairs and Nafisika, Pinton top, Intell soft, African Centre for Computing, Gardena and SAKU.
