Across East Africa, the sugarcane industry produces millions of tonnes of bagasse, molasses and wastewater every year — resources that can be converted into bioethanol, clean cooking fuel, industrial power and carbon credits. The Summit convenes in Kisumu to turn that potential into a working regional economy.
Hosted alongside Lake Victoria, the summit brings together governments, sugar millers, regulators, investors, banks, carbon and ESG firms, technology providers, innovators and civil society advocates.
Over three days and three pavilions, delegates move from policy dialogue to investment action, technology demonstration and industrial field tours — culminating in the Kisumu Declaration, the launch of the East African Sugarbelt Circular Economy Platform and a 24-month investment and policy pipeline.
