General
The Africa Commerce & Industry Summit & Awards 2026 is organised by KNCCI — Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry — to recognise outstanding Kenyan businesses and entrepreneurs across company excellence, MSME growth, digital innovation, sustainability, county chambers, startups, and youth in business. At its heart: the ACIS Gala Awards, driving Africa's next era of trade.
The award aligns with KNCCI's mission: recognising the businesses and county governments that make it easier for Kenyan trade and industry to grow, and benchmarking excellence in commerce across Africa.
The Africa Commerce & Industry Summit & Awards 2026 runs Oct 14–16, 2026. The award will take place during the KNCCI@60 Gala Dinner on the final day, Oct 16, 2026.
The 2026 edition features 11 award categories — 8 open to public nomination and vote (Company of the Year, MSME Excellence, Digital Transformation & Innovation, Woman Entrepreneur of the Year, Sustainability & Responsible Business, Chamber Award for County Chapters, Startup Company, and Youth in Business), plus 3 Special Selections & Recognitions — including Exporter of the Year, Disability Inclusive Business, and Longest Serving Member & Hall of Fame — decided by KNCCI leadership and partner bodies.
