It operates in 19 Kenyan universities (both public and private) keen to unleash the youthful student energies to confront challenges that face society. Enactus Kenya will host its 11th Edition of the Kenya National Business and Entrepreneurship Competition on July 20, 2013 at Sarova Pan Afric Hotel. An estimated 600 university students will participate and their business projects will be judged by corporate leaders drawn from over 30 companies.
