Kenya Mining Forum is a premium annual mining investment event that showcases Kenya’s ‘open for business’ potential. The forum will be a stakeholder-led gathering focused on a specific delegate profile with a distinct end goal – the search for credible investors in Kenya’s mining industry, as well as associated support services. Supported by case studies and presentations, growth strategies and market data, the inaugural edition of Kenya Mining Forum will showcase the country as an emerging destination for mining. Our discussion with the Ministry of Mining and key stakeholders in the region highlighted the fact that is an opportune time to promote investment in Kenya as they recently approve the Mining Act in May 2016, providing more transparency and credibility for investors. Moreover, Kenya has been working with McKinsey on a 20-year mining plan that already highlighted a potential of USD 62.4b mining revenues. This is going towards the objective to contribute to 10% of the GDP in 2030 against 1% in 2015.
