Business Ireland Kenya has rebranded as the Irish Chamber of Commerce Kenya, with a new shamrock logo pairing Shamrock Green with Kenyan Earth brown. A reception marking the change was hosted at the Irish Residence in Nairobi on October 29, 2026.
Why it matters
The rebrand reflects the organization's effort to position itself as a formal chamber linking Irish and Kenyan business. The change signals a renewed focus on connection, collaboration and commercial growth between the two markets.
The organization was launched in December 2013 and has operated for nearly thirteen years before this rebrand. Its tagline, Connect | Collaborate | Capitalise, frames the new identity around business networking between Ireland and Kenya.
