From July 22–24, 2026, Nairobi’s Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) will host one of East Africa’s largest international business events as China Trade Week Kenya (CTW Kenya) returns alongside the Africa Technology Show (AFTS), Africa Build Show Kenya (ABS Kenya), and MEGAWATT Africa Kenya.

Together, the four co-located exhibitions will create a powerful B2B marketplace connecting manufacturers, contractors, developers, investors, government agencies, technology providers, procurement professionals, and business leaders from across Africa and around the world.

The event combines four specialized exhibitions designed to support regional economic growth:

• China Trade Week Kenya showcases Chinese manufacturers, industrial products, machinery, consumer goods, automotive components, and international trade opportunities.
• Africa Technology Show focuses on artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, fintech, smart cities, cloud computing, telecommunications, and digital transformation.
• Africa Build Show Kenya highlights construction equipment, building materials, architecture, engineering, infrastructure, HVAC, water technologies, and urban development.
• MEGAWATT Africa Kenya features renewable energy, electrical infrastructure, battery storage, EV charging, smart grids, power generation, and sustainable energy technologies.

Organizers expect more than 10,000 visitors, 200 exhibitors, representatives from 10+ countries, 120 industry speakers, 40 conference sessions, and over 500 pre-arranged B2B meetings.

The event will also feature a VIP Buyers Club, CEO Roundtables, structured B2B matchmaking, and conference sessions designed to connect exhibitors with qualified buyers, investors, distributors, project owners, and government decision-makers.

Kenya continues to strengthen its position as a regional leader in renewable energy and infrastructure development. Supported by key government ministries, industry associations, and organizations including Kenya Power, KenGen, EPRA, GDC, Invest Kenya, and the Architectural Association of Kenya, the exhibitions provide opportunities for businesses seeking to expand across East Africa.

Attendees will explore innovations in construction, manufacturing, clean energy, logistics, ICT, automation, environmental technologies, and smart infrastructure while gaining valuable insights from government officials and industry experts.

The event also encourages strategic partnerships through Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), international networking, and investment discussions. Organizations such as the International Trade Council and E4Impact Foundation will support business matchmaking, entrepreneurship, investment readiness, and cross-border collaboration.

By bringing together four major exhibitions under one roof, China Trade Week Kenya 2026 continues to strengthen Kenya’s role as East Africa’s gateway for international trade, infrastructure development, digital innovation, and sustainable economic growth.
