Greetings from Nairobi and Latitude 59

EXANTE had the unique opportunity to immerse in the vibrant tech and investment scene at the Latitude 59 conference that took place on 6 December in Nairobi, Kenya. For those already anticipating the next event – the next edition of Latitude59 will take place in Tallinn, May 22-24, 2024.

Mick Thuranira and Florence Gakiyo, account managers at EXANTE, shared their perspective on the experience:

Mick: “Latitude59 in Kenya exceeded our expectations with its impeccable organization. The attendees were highly experienced investors, making networking a breeze. The standout moment for me was the panel discussion on bridging the gap in financial inclusion. Michael Lawal, the Head of Growth Africa at Aufort, delivered profound insights into tackling the African Financial Ecosystem. His expertise was invaluable for both start-ups and established companies eyeing the region.”

Florence: “The event provided an excellent networking ground, bringing together from various industries. I'm thrilled to share that I have a meeting scheduled this week with a senior manager from a leading telecommunications company in Kenya, who turned from a keynote speaker into a potential client. Latitude59 offered a unique opportunity to connect with decision-makers aligning with our business goals.”

In reflection, our experience at Latitude59 was both enjoyable and fruitful. As we look back on this adventure, we extend an invitation to others in the industry.
