oraimo Hosts Innovation Gala 2026 in Nairobi: Unveils Expanded Smart Tech Ecosystem

oraimo, the premier smart accessory brand in Africa, has officially hosted the highly anticipated oraimo Innovation Gala 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Nairobi. The landmark event brought together the country’s top tech and gadget distributors, wholesalers, Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), and media stakeholders to experience the brand’s rapidly growing footprint as a leading lifestyle technology giant in East Africa.
For years, consumers have celebrated oraimo as Africa’s No. 1 Personal Audio (TWS) and Wearable (Smart Watch) brand. However, the Innovation Gala 2026 marks a strategic shift designed to shatter the niche thinking that oraimo only offers power accessories for mobile phones. The brand is rolling out an expanded, multi-category ecosystem in the Kenyan market, intentionally engineered to upgrade the lifestyles of everyday consumers through sheer supply chain strength and user-focused tech experiences.
To give stakeholders a true sense of this evolution, the Gala featured experiential zones where attendees interacted directly with oraimo’s full, diversified product lineup:
- oraimo Power & Audio: The backbone of the brand’s innovation, highlighting ultra-fast charging tech alongside world-class wireless sound systems, speakers, and premium earbuds.
- oraimo Smart Watch: Sleek, circular business-oriented wearables like the Watch Nova 2R alongside fitness-focused square smartwatches designed for health monitoring and activity tracking.
- oraimo Personal Care: Next-generation smart grooming tools including the Smart Zerogap, UltraTrim, and MasterCut Pro trimmers.
- oraimo Home (Sub-brand): Lifestyle-centered products extending way beyond consumer electronics to encompass premium home items, blenders, kitchenware, outdoor folding chairs, and even stylish crocs.
- oraimo Baby (Sub-brand): Thoughtfully designed personal care items offering “smart care for modern moms,” featuring advanced breast pumps, baby feeding bottles, and smart sterilizers.
The crown jewel of the evening was the official physical launch of the oraimo SpaceBuds 2 (OTW-631) , which completely stole the show following its highly successful soft launch phase. Built on the success of the bestselling Space series, the SpaceBuds 2 combines advanced AI-powered features, grammy-level sound, immersive spatial audio, and an elite 52dB Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation system.
Elevating this flagship product to a global stage, the SpaceBuds 2 features the professional endorsement of Jesse Ray—the international mixing engineer who famously won a Grammy Award for Burna Boy’s Twice as Tall album. Jesse Ray’s acoustic tuning bridges the gap between a high-end recording studio and everyday listening, ensuring layered, textured clarity for African music fans. Furthermore, its premium “Lunar Eclipse” slide-open design—which recently turned heads internationally when spotted in Milan during Fashion Week—proves that the SpaceBuds 2 is as much a high-fashion tech accessory as it is an acoustic powerhouse.
The integration of on-device AI capabilities is what truly sets the SpaceBuds 2 apart for the Kenyan consumer. Whether users are blocking out loud matatu music on their morning commute, cutting through chaotic street noise while navigating Nairobi traffic on a boda ride, or managing a complex supplier negotiation via the app’s real-time Swahili-English AI Translation—these earbuds are built to navigate real-life local rhythms flawlessly.
The Innovation Gala 2026 goes far beyond a product display; it is a major initiative aimed at directly empowering distributors, wholesalers, and retail partners within the regional ecosystem. Through strategic partnerships, comprehensive technical training, and high-value brand incentives, oraimo is cementing its commitment to growing hand-in-hand with its local commercial network.
“We are incredibly excited to bring this fully integrated flagship experience to our stakeholders and users across Kenya,“ stated Mr. Kevin Yuan, CEO of oraimo Audio. “The oraimo Innovation Gala 2026 proves that we don’t follow rules; we create them. By expanding our category footprint into smart home, personal care, and maternal tech, we are delivering a smarter, holistic lifestyle ecosystem designed for today’s fast-paced African consumer.”
Following its grand physical launch, customers can find the flagship oraimo SpaceBuds 2 alongside the brand’s newly expanded product ecosystem across all oraimo physical stores, Hotpoint stores, Miniso stores, Carrefour stores, China Square malls, Panda Mart, and China Village. The earbuds are also available online with door-step delivery via the oraimo online marketplace at ke.oraimo.com.
Founded in 2014, oraimo is a premier global smart accessory brand recognized as the No. 1 Personal Audio (TWS) and Wearable (Smart Watch) brand in Africa, serving over 200 million users across the globe.
