Reports that President William Ruto will be touring Silicon Valley during his latest visit to the US have stirred excitement within the Kenyan tech start-up community looking for a lift in the wake of shutdowns attributed to a funding drought and unviable business models.
A State House statement on Wednesday indicated the President, who is in the US to participate in the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General’s Climate Ambition Summit, will hold meetings with representatives of Big Tech, many of who were incubated at Silicon Valley – the global centre for technology and innovation.
