        <h2 class="section-title">Two Decades of Connecting Business</h2>
        <p class="mb-4">The Kenya Expo was founded in 2006 with a singular mission: to connect Kenyan businesses with regional and global markets. Over two decades, the expo has facilitated billions in trade agreements, launched thousands of partnerships, and grown from a local showcase into one of East Africa's most attended international business events.</p>
        <p class="mb-4" style="color:var(--text-muted);">The 2026 edition — our 20th — marks a milestone in that journey: bigger, more international, and more impactful than ever before. With 200+ exhibitors from 16+ countries and 35,000+ expected visitors, this will be the definitive trade event in the region.</p>
        <p style="color:var(--text-muted);">Held at the prestigious Kenyatta International Convention Center (KICC) in Nairobi's.</p>
