Business Ireland Kenya (BIK) is an association that facilitates business networking opportunities for its members. We provide a platform and support structure for sharing information on business experiences in Kenya and Ireland, including local context, knowledge, opportunities, challenges, lessons learnt and interpretations of the countries’ evolving statutory and regulatory environments. BIK is an initiative of the Embassy of Ireland in Kenya and was launched in December 2013 during the visit of former Minister of State for Trade and Development Joe Costello. Prior to that, a group of Irish business people had formed a more informal network that met to discuss some of the bottlenecks for doing business in Kenya and to identify areas of common interest and concern. This served as the basis of BIK. Today, we meet regularly and provide an online community for members to connect with opportunities and queries. BIK membership is open to Kenyan, Irish and international business people whose work promotes trade between the two countries. BIK is led by a steering committee, co-chaired by the Irish Ambassador and an elected committee member. The committee comprises a further six volunteers who are experts in their fields of business and are voted in by the BIK membership. Scroll down to meet the current steering committee.
