TechCabal, Africa’s leading technology publication, will on Thursday bring its pan-African innovation conversation to Kenya with an exclusive Road to Moonshot mixer, as part of preparations for Moonshot 2026, its flagship technology conference scheduled for October in Lagos.
The evening mixer comes as Nairobi strengthens its position as one of Africa’s leading technology hubs, with Kenya attracting a growing share of venture capital, multinational technology firms, and regional startup headquarters. The evening mixer will run from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm East African Time (EAT).
The event forms part of the build-up to Moonshot 2026, TechCabal’s annual conference in Lagos, which has emerged as one of Africa’s largest gatherings for entrepreneurs, investors, and technology executives.
Unlike large tech summits, the Nairobi event will be a closed-door networking session with a curated guest list, allowing founders, investors, policymakers, and operators to exchange views away from formal stages.
The decision to bring the pre-conference discussions to Nairobi reflects the city’s growing importance in shaping the continent’s digital economy. Kenya has long been regarded as East Africa’s innovation gateway, helped by the early success of mobile money, a relatively mature startup ecosystem, and the presence of regional offices for global technology companies.
