Sugar Industry Innovation Symposium & Expo 2026

The Sugar Industry Innovation Symposium & Expo 2026 takes place December 8-10, 2026 at The Grand Royal Swiss Hotel in Kisumu, Kenya.

Event Purpose

Kenya's sugar industry is entering a period of renewal. Lasting recovery requires more than restoring production. It requires stronger institutions, productive farms, efficient factories, competitive markets, sustained investment, and practical innovation.

The Sugar Industry Innovation Symposium & Expo captures the task now facing Kenya's sugar industry: turning recovery into lasting resilience, efficiency, and growth.

Event Theme

"Building the Next Chapter of Kenya's Sugar Industry"

Why Collaboration Matters

The industry cannot build its future through isolated interventions. Farmers, millers, researchers, government, investors, innovators, technology providers, and development partners all have roles in strengthening the value chain.

The symposium brings together the people shaping that future.
