Accelerator Program Kenya
“Where Kenyan innovators meet the best of Italian business”
The E4Impact Accelerator was founded in 2018 in Nairobi, Kenya by the E4Impact Foundation together with the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore of Milan and thanks to the support of the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation to contribute to the economic growth of Kenya in accordance with the country’s expressed policy objectives and Africa’s Vision 2063.
The Accelerator offers Kenyan small business and startups a personalized, action-oriented and results-driven acceleration experience to scale, access investments and increase their positive impact on the community. It attempts to create mutually beneficial partnerships between the Kenyan businesses and Italian companies.

• Agri-food
