The vibrant town of Naivasha played host to this year’s IET-K/KETRB Solution-Based Innovation exhibition, a landmark event that brought together engineers, innovators, and industry leaders to explore the future of technology in Kenya.
The exhibition, organized in collaboration between the Institution of Engineers of Kenya (IET-K) and the Kenya Engineering Technology Registration Board (KETRB), served as a powerful platform for discussing and showcasing innovations that could shape the nation’s future.
Speaking at the event’s opening ceremony, Eng. Margaret Ogai, the Registrar and CEO, expressed her gratitude to both IET-K and KETRB for their role in making the exhibition a success. She emphasized the critical importance of innovation in driving Kenya’s progress, particularly in the engineering and technology sectors.
“Regulators recognize the significance of innovation in shaping the future and are committed to nurturing an environment that promotes the growth of creativity and innovation,” said Eng. Ogai. Her remarks underscored the collective responsibility of both government and industry to foster an ecosystem where innovation can thrive, driving technological advancement and industrialization.
The exhibition featured a series of plenary sessions and panel discussions aimed at developing policy interventions to address the challenges faced by the engineering sector. Eng. Ogai, who participated in a panel on reinforcing engineering practices, highlighted the event’s role as a crucial platform for generating ideas that can lead to meaningful policy changes.
“We are confident that the discussions here will inspire new ideas, forge meaningful collaborations, and drive forward a shared vision of a technologically advanced and industrialized nation,” Eng. Ogai added. Her optimism reflected the broader sentiment at the exhibition, where participants were eager to contribute to a future where Kenya stands as a leader in innovation and technology.
The IET-K/KETRB Solution-Based Innovation exhibition has once again demonstrated the power of collaboration between regulators, industry leaders, and innovators in creating a bright future for Kenya. With a focus on creativity, innovation, and practical solutions, the event has set the stage for significant advancements in the engineering sector and beyond.
