NAIROBI: When entrepreneur Benjamin Chua, 35, caught wind of a business delegation that was headed to South Africa and Kenya in May, he signed up immediately as he was looking to find out more about Kenya’s market.

The founder of cleaning technology company Speco makes a machine that automatically sanitises rooms and repels mosquitoes, and its partner was setting up education centres in Kenyan cities and wanted Chua’s machines in the classrooms.
