Following the success of the 4th Abojani Economic Empowerment Conference in 2024, preparations are now underway for the 5th Economic Empowerment Event 2025. This year’s event will continue the mission of empowering individuals and businesses through financial literacy, wealth creation, and digital innovation. Stay tuned for registration details and highlights coming soon.
On Saturday, 23rd November 2024, Abojani Investment’s 4th Economic Empowerment Conference was an event like no other.
From 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM EAT at the Radisson Blu Upper Hill, we brought together some of the brightest minds and leaders in business, finance, and beyond, all in one place.
The year’s theme was all about Building Staying Power as African Households & Businesses, and it couldn’t come at a more crucial time. With more than half of Kenyan households struggling to make ends meet and only 50% of businesses surviving past their first three years, the need for financial resilience and long-term growth strategies has never been more urgent.
At this conference, we focused on how African households and businesses can secure their financial future, staying resilient against economic disruptions, and unlock sustainable growth.
Whether you’re an individual looking to plan for retirement or a business aiming to thrive in challenging times, there’s something for everyone…
