The Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) and MindHYVE.ai™, Inc., a leader in agentic artificial intelligence (AGI), signed a Memorandum of Understanding on June 5, 2025, to launch national-scale initiatives for workforce development, SME digital enablement, and innovation policy co-creation in Kenya. Announced on July 15, 2025, this partnership leverages MindHYVE’s Ava-Series AGI agents—Arthur, Justine, and Eli—to drive economic transformation aligned with Kenya’s digital and development goals.
The collaboration introduces domain-specialized AGI agents—Arthur (Ava-Education™), Justine (Ava-Legal™), and Eli (Ava-Finance™)—to deliver real-time, adaptive solutions. “Our mission at MindHYVE is to engineer intelligence that doesn’t just automate but elevates,” said Bill Faruki, CEO of MindHYVE.ai. “This partnership with KEPSA shows what’s possible when artificial general intelligence is built with purpose and deployed with trust.” These agents operate within platforms like ArthurAI™, aligning with Kenya’s National AI Strategy 2025–2030 to foster inclusive growth and digital transformation.
Dr. Ehud Gachugu, KEPSA’s Deputy CEO, emphasized, “With this partnership, Kenya takes a bold leap into applied AGI. We are not waiting to be shaped by the future; we are shaping it from within.” KEPSA, representing over one million businesses, drives Kenya’s digital economy, with SMEs contributing significantly to trade, manufacturing, and agriculture under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda. The partnership aligns with Kenya’s ambition to lead AI innovation in Africa, as outlined in its 2025–2030 AI Strategy.
Kenya’s digital economy is growing, with SMEs leveraging AI for tasks like inventory tracking and customer management. The global AI market is projected to reach $1.85 trillion by 2030, and Kenya’s proactive adoption positions it as a regional hub. This MoU builds on KEPSA’s prior AI efforts, including collaborations with Microsoft to upskill youth, and complements MindHYVE’s broader African initiatives, such as its partnership with TechMindset Africa.
By integrating MindHYVE’s AGI agents with KEPSA’s private sector influence, this partnership empowers Kenya to build a locally governed, inclusive digital ecosystem, driving workforce readiness, SME growth, and innovation at scale.
The Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) is the country's principal private sector body, representing over one million businesses across sectors.
