Kilifi County: The Future of Sustainable Investment Awaits at Vipingo Ridge

Step into a Greener Future at Vipingo Ridge

We are excited to welcome international investors from across the globe to the Kilifi County International Investment Conference (KCIIC) this December 4-6, where visionaries and change-makers will gather to explore transformative investment opportunities.

This highly-anticipated event, partners, exhibitors and delegates will engage in the future of sustainable development in one of Kenya’s most promising counties – right here in Vipingo Ridge.

Why Kilifi? Where Natural Beauty Meets Sustainable Investment

Kilifi County, with its vast land, rich biodiversity, and proximity to the Indian Ocean, is poised to become Kenya’s prime destination for eco-conscious investment.

From clean energy and climate smart farming to eco tourism and the blue economy, Kilifi offers unparalleled potential for industries that respect the environment while driving economic growth. The county has set aside 3,000 acres specifically for an industrial park, strategically located near Mariakani Railway and Malindi Airport, creating direct links to local and international markets.

This conference at Vipingo Ridge provides a unique platform to connect with investors, business leaders, and industry experts. It’s an opportunity to explore how sustainable projects can flourish in sectors like renewable energy, agro-processing, ICT, and more.

H.E Governor Kilifi County Gideon Mung’aro says it best:

“We’re combining our natural resources, innovation, and sustainability to foster a business-friendly environment.”

With incentives such as streamlined land acquisition processes, tax benefits for green projects, and support for ICT infrastructure, Kilifi is paving the way for a new era of investment.

Creating Partnerships for Lasting Change

At Vipingo Ridge, we are aligned with Kilifi’s mission of responsible growth and sustainability. The conference will spotlight Kilifi County’s dedication to sustainable progress, providing an environment where investors can find like-minded partners and explore ventures that benefit both business and community.

Imagine investing in green energy projects against the stunning backdrop of the Indian Ocean, or exploring eco-tourism opportunities amidst Kilifi’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This event promises not only rich business opportunities but also the chance to make a lasting difference in Kenya’s coastal region.

Invest in Kilifi and create employment opportunities

The KCIIC aims to accelerate economic growth through these investment partners, encouraging businesses to choose Kilifi County for their future. As well as the abundant natural resources, the people of Kilifi are one of our greatest assets. Vipingo Ridge supports the ideals of the conference: investing in the County and creating local jobs, indeed we employ over 400 people and 65% of our team are from the local community. Secure jobs, training and personal development of our team is a key pillar of our strategy.

Vipingo Ridge Chief Executive Officer, Alex Horsey commented:

“The Vipingo Ridge founders invested in Kilifi almost 20 years ago, and it is great to see more investors joining the thriving business community in Kilifi County. The County team aim for it to be easy to do business, and we are pleased to have our established conference facilities and venue chosen as the location for this landmark conference.”
