ENHANCING COLLABORATION WITH BUSINESS FRANCE

ENHANCING COLLABORATION WITH BUSINESS FRANCE

Paris , 3rd November 2026

On 3rd Nov, Amb. Betty Cherwon held a fruitful meeting at the Embassy with Business France officials — Mr. Elias Rock, Regional Coordinator for Africa, and Mr. Elliot Phelut-Domenach, Event Project Manager for Geographic & Strategic Events. Business France is the French national agency for the internationalisation of the French economy. It supports French companies expanding abroad, promotes France as a business & investment destination, and connects foreign companies wishing to export to France. Discussions focused on deepening Embassy – Business France collaboration, including Kenya’s participation in Ambition Africa 2026 — the 8th edition of the annual France-Africa business forum, on 24-25 Nov 2026 at the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industry. The timing is strategic. Coming just six months after the Africa Forward Summit co-hosted by Kenya & France in Nairobi in May 2026, Ambition Africa will be the ideal stage to showcase the Summit’s outcomes and track progress on business deals agreed. Both sides agreed to work together to elevate Kenya-France economic & trade relations. #KenyaInFrance #AmbitionAfrica2026 #AfricaForwardSummit #KenyaFrance #Trade #Investment #BusinessFrance
