TomorrowNow at Kenya Space Expo & Conference 2022

TomorrowNow’s Kenya team makes a critical contribution to the Kenya Space Expo & Conference 2022

Nairobi, Kenya – TomorrowNow was honored to make a critical contribution to the Kenya Space Expo & Conference 2022 event by participating in a keynote session themed “Climate Change Mitigation Using Space Technologies”.

Ronald and Kenneth who lead our Kenya programs shared experiences around the opportunities of next-gen satellite technology to predict the weather, and will play an increasingly important role in early warning systems for extreme weather events to help mitigate the effects of climate change, especially in Africa!

The Inaugural Kenya Space Agency Conference and Expo 2022 [KSEC] held in Nairobi Kenya from 15th to 17th June 2022, crowded in a diverse audience including industry leaders, government representatives, policy makers, academics, representatives of African space agencies and international organizations, young professionals and the general public to examine the theme Leveraging Space Capabilities for National Development.

Thank you to Charles Mwangi, TomorrowNow advisor, Earth Observation, Research, Education and Outreach Lead at Kenya Space Agency, for your continued support.
