Rwanda to Host 26th EAC MSMEs Trade Fair in Kigali
Rwanda will host the 26th East African Community (EAC) Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Trade Fair from 30 October to 8 November 2026 at Gikondo Expo Ground, in Kigali.
The regional trade fair will bring together entrepreneurs, businesses and other stakeholders from EAC Partner States to showcase products, explore market opportunities and strengthen regional trade and business partnerships.
This year’s trade fair will focus on advancing regional value chains in leather and horticulture, while welcoming enterprises from other sectors. It aims to promote locally produced goods, support business growth and create opportunities for investment and knowledge exchange.
The event will also host the EAC Quality Awards 2026, which recognise enterprises demonstrating excellence in quality management, standards compliance and innovation.
The EAC MSMEs Trade Fair is an annual regional platform that supports entrepreneurship, employment creation, industrialisation and economic integration across East Africa.
