On Tuesday, 3 June 2025, the International Center for Promotion of Enterprises (ICPE) was received at CAB International’s headquarters in Nairobi for a courtesy meeting. Mr Jure Tomc, Advisor to ICPE, was welcomed by Ms Phyllis Engefu Ombonyo, CABI’s Director of Strategy and Engagement, International and her team. After opening remarks and introductions, each side delivered concise presentations outlining their respective missions, programmes and current priorities, before moving to an exploratory discussion on where activities might intersect.
Looking ahead, ICPE will prepare a brief video showcasing its partner implementors working in biotechnology, to be screened during CABI’s forthcoming Triennial Africa Regional Consultations. Both organisations agreed that this practical contribution will help deepen engagement and set the stage for further cooperation in areas of mutual interest.
