Kenya is stepping up efforts to strengthen its space industry, showing its desire to play a more powerful role in Africa's expanding space economy through new international alliances and technology collaborations.
The East African country is now looking into ways to broaden its space knowledge and technological skills, with an emphasis on boosting data collection, strengthening scientific research, and promoting better national planning and development.
As part of this effort, Kenyan authorities recently paid a visit to Ghalam LLP, an Astana-based spacecraft development and component manufacturing company.
The tour underlined Kenya's desire to learn from countries and companies that have developed significant aerospace capabilities, the country’s president, William Ruto, relayed via X.
“Kenya is exploring the expansion of space knowledge and capabilities to strengthen accurate data collection, enhance research, and support informed national planning and development,” he stated.
