William Ruto and Emmanuel Macron have arrived at the University of Nairobi for the Future Makers Youth Summit, formally launching the Africa Forward Business Summit in the Kenyan capital.
The high-profile event brings together political leaders, entrepreneurs, investors and young innovators to discuss Africa’s economic future, youth empowerment and cross-continental partnerships.
The appearance of the Kenyan and French presidents underscores growing diplomatic and economic ties between Kenya and France, particularly in areas such as technology, infrastructure and investment.
Organisers say the summit is aimed at amplifying the voices of young Africans while creating new pathways for business collaboration and sustainable development across the continent.
The gathering is expected to feature discussions on innovation, job creation and Africa’s evolving role in the global economy, with youth participation placed at the centre of the conversations.
