Strathmore Business School

Strathmore Business School (SBS) is a leading private business school in Kenya known for ethical leadership, executive education, and industry-focused research. Building on the university’s long academic tradition since 1961, SBS combines academic rigor with practical training to prepare professionals and entrepreneurs across Africa. Its programs emphasize case-based learning, global perspectives, and close engagement with industry. As a result, the school has become an important hub for leadership development, research, and professional capacity building in the region.

Within SBS, the Strathmore Agri‑Food Innovation Center (SAFIC) serves as a specialized platform dedicated to transforming Africa’s agri-food systems. The center provides market intelligence, applied research, and advisory services that help agribusinesses, investors, and public institutions make informed decisions. In addition, SAFIC connects private companies, researchers, and development partners to accelerate the adoption of practical and scalable agricultural innovations.

SAFIC also strengthens agricultural value chains by supporting enterprise strategy, investment readiness, and operational improvement, particularly for small and medium-sized agribusinesses. Furthermore, the center promotes knowledge exchange through partnerships, communities of practice, and agribusiness education programs such as the Master of Management in Agribusiness. These initiatives equip professionals with the skills needed to manage modern agricultural enterprises.

Through its integrated approach, SAFIC bridges the gap between research and real-world agribusiness needs. Consequently, it plays a key role in improving competitiveness, advancing innovation, and supporting sustainable food system transformation in Kenya and across Africa.
