The Sugar Industry Innovation Symposium & Expo

We are excited to invite you to the Sugar Industry Innovation Symposium & Expo - Youth Edition, an event dedicated to the future of Kenya’s sugar industry and its most promising asset: the youth. With the theme "Youth Opportunities in the Sugar Value Chain," this symposium brings together young professionals, students, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to explore how the next generation can drive innovation, sustainability, and growth within the sector. It is an empowering platform designed to ignite ideas, foster collaboration, and create new pathways for youth involvement in the sugar industry, which plays a vital role in the country’s economy.

The symposium's primary goal is to provide the tools, knowledge, and resources necessary to empower the youth to actively contribute to sustainable practices in sugar production, resource management, and supply chains. By doing so, we aim to reduce the ecological footprint of the sugar industry and improve its efficiency in meeting global sweetener demands. With a rapidly evolving global market, the need for bold innovation in all aspects of the sugar industry has never been greater, and this event is a call to action for those ready to make a tangible difference. It brings together researchers, policymakers, and forward-thinking professionals, creating a dynamic environment for discussion, exploration, and the sharing of ideas that will shape the future of sugar production.

The symposium is free to attend, reflecting our commitment to inclusivity and ensuring that everyone with a passion for the sugar industry has the opportunity to participate. Whether you are an established industry expert or a newcomer eager to learn and engage, the Sugar Industry Innovation Symposium & Expo - Youth Edition offers something for everyone. It’s a chance to discover new opportunities, network with peers and mentors, and gain insights into the innovations that will define the future of the sugar value chain.

This event is more than just a gathering; it’s a movement to bring youth into the heart of the sugar industry’s transformation. Through collaboration, knowledge exchange, and a shared vision of a more sustainable and efficient sugar industry, we can create lasting change that benefits the environment, the economy, and future generations.
