Africa Is A Planet has teamed up with Global Exhibitions Inc. to host the Africa Hair Market at the Sarit Expo Centre on Saturday, March 22, 2025, with an addition of a shelf-based showcase.
This approach embraces the sharing economy model, offering startups and SMEs in the haircare, skincare, beauty, and fashion industries an affordable avenue to showcase their products in a state-of-the-art event space.
“As KNCCI Nairobi Chapter, we are committed to creating opportunities that drive growth for SMEs, particularly in industries with significant potential for job creation and innovation. The Africa Hair Market offers an accessible platform for small businesses to connect, network, and thrive sustainably,” says Christine Mwende, CEO of KNCCI Nairobi Chapter.
“At Global Exhibitions Inc., we are proud to support this game-changing initiative that aligns with our vision of inclusive business growth,” adds Edwin Masivo, Country Director of Global Exhibitions Inc.
“Our goal is to deliver a bustling market environment with a wide range of stakeholders exchanging value, using the economic and efficient potential of a state-of-the-art space like Sarit Expo Centre,” adds Keith Oleng, Projects Manager and founder of Africa Is A Planet.
This new approach is designed to make it easier for Kenya’s most promising startups to showcase their work while keeping costs manageable. In doing so, the Africa Hair Market is contributing directly to the ease of doing business metrics in the country.
Adding to the value of this event is the co-located financial literacy conference, Hela Storytellers, now in its 5th edition. With the theme, “The Sharing Economy – Exploring how Shared Resources and responsibilities create the Best Value in Africa’s Business Landscape,” the talks will provide actionable financial insights tailored to the haircare, skincare, beauty, and fashion industries. This conference offers attendees the tools and strategies needed to succeed in these fast-growing sectors.
This is more than an exhibition—it’s an ecosystem of collaboration, value-sharing, and creativity. 700+ visitors are expected to attend, offering exhibitors unparalleled visibility and opportunities to network.
