Top Entrepreneurs and Industry Leaders Set to Headline BNI Nairobi South Business & Innovation Expo

Leading entrepreneurs, innovators, and business executives are set to take centre stage at the BNI Nairobi South Business & Innovation Expo 2026, which brings together more than 1,000 business leaders and professionals for a day focused on business growth, innovation, and strategic connections.

Taking place on 11th September 2026 at The Waterfront Karen, the Expo will go beyond the traditional exhibition format, creating a platform where entrepreneurs can discover new solutions, exchange ideas, build strategic relationships, and identify opportunities that can contribute to business growth.

Among the key speakers is Tonee Ndungu, Founder of Kytabu, a digital platform transforming how businesses and communities access knowledge and opportunities. A passionate entrepreneur and innovation advocate, Ndungu has dedicated his work to building solutions that empower people, drive growth and create lasting impact across Africa.

Joining him will be Graeme Reid, CEO of Tilisi Developments, who brings extensive experience in business and property development and will contribute to conversations around enterprise, investment and the opportunities shaping Kenya’s business landscape.

The two leaders will headline a programme designed to give attendees practical insights while creating opportunities for meaningful business connections. The Expo will feature keynote sessions, expert discussions, innovation showcases, exhibitor engagements and networking opportunities bringing together entrepreneurs, SMEs, corporates, investors and professionals from diverse industries.

For businesses, the Expo will also provide an opportunity to discover new products and services, meet potential suppliers and customers, explore partnerships and expand their professional networks. Exhibitors will have a platform to demonstrate their solutions directly to a targeted audience while attendees will have the opportunity to discover businesses and innovations that can support their own growth.

According to Antony Njenga, Co-Executive Director, BNI Nairobi South, the focus is on creating an experience that delivers value beyond the event itself.

“We want people to leave the Expo with more than a collection of business cards. We want them to leave with new ideas, new relationships, new opportunities and conversations that can translate into real business outcomes. The calibre of speakers, exhibitors and business leaders coming together on the day is a reflection of what we want this Expo to become.”

The day will culminate in an exclusive Business Networking Cocktail, allowing participants to continue conversations from the Expo in a more relaxed setting. The evening reception will bring together business leaders, exhibitors, sponsors and other guests for further networking and relationship building.

Held under the theme “Accelerate, Innovate, Lead,” the BNI Nairobi South Business & Innovation Expo 2026 is expected to attract over 1,000 entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, innovators, SMEs and professionals.

With the event bringing together business opportunities, knowledge, innovation and high-level connections under one roof, organizers are encouraging businesses and professionals looking to expand their networks and unlock new opportunities to attend the Expo.
