Two BioAfri Solutions team members attended Boot Camp 1 of the Kenya Industry and Entrepreneurship Project (KIEP) SKIES program at the E4Impact Accelerator in Nairobi from October 2 to 4, 2025. This intensive three-day training, facilitated by Mr. Justin, brought together some of Kenya’s most promising startups and innovators for a deep dive into business design, strategy, and innovation. The sessions focused on equipping entrepreneurs with the tools and frameworks needed to build resilient, customer-focused, and scalable businesses.

Participants explored key topics such as:

1. Design Thinking
2. Business Model Design & Canvas
3. Value Chain Mapping
4. Cost Structure & Revenue Streams
5. Go-to-Market Strategies
6. Financial Literacy & Growth Planning

Representing BioAfri Solutions were Ruth, the Production Lead, and Stacy, the Marketing and Sales Lead. Both actively engaged in the interactive workshops, sharing insights, exchanging ideas, and applying learnings to real-world business challenges.

“The session on Design Thinking helped us reimagine our approach to product development by focusing more on customer-centered solutions,” shared Ruth, reflecting on the transformative training.

“Understanding our cost structure and revenue streams has given us a clearer picture of how to make our marketing and sales strategies more effective and sustainable,” added Stacy.

Collaboration, Growth, and Impact

Beyond the structured sessions, the boot camp fostered an atmosphere of collaboration and peer learning, with entrepreneurs from various industries exchanging ideas and building connections that extend beyond the classroom.
