Nairobi, Sept. 28 -- Kenya does not have a start-up problem; it has a scale-up problem. Every year, hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs launch businesses, yet relatively few grow into medium-sized enterprises, national champions, or regional players.

Yet too many businesses remain trapped in survival mode, unable to grow into productive, resilient, and regionally competitive enterprises.
