Building Tomorrow: Community, Commerce & Artificial Intelligence

The United Asian Network (UAN) Leadership Summit returns for its third edition with a timely and thought-provoking theme: Building Tomorrow: Community, Commerce & Artificial Intelligence.

As artificial intelligence reshapes industries, economies, and societies around the world, this year's Summit explores one fundamental question: How can communities harness AI while preserving the entrepreneurial spirit, values, and human connections that have long driven business success?

The Summit brings together business leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators, policymakers, and the next generation of changemakers to examine how AI can strengthen commerce, create opportunity, and build resilient communities for the future.

Strong Partners Driving the Vision

UAN is proud to welcome back Victoria Commercial Bank PLC as Anchor Sponsor, continuing their commitment to advancing leadership, innovation, and community engagement. Joining them as a new Anchor Sponsor is Elgon Kenya Ltd, whose support further strengthens the Summit's mission to inspire meaningful dialogue and collaboration. And for the first time, Jubilee Asset Management also joins as Anchor Sponsor.

Distinguished Speakers

Kenya's growing reputation as a technology and innovation hub makes this year's keynote especially significant. UAN is honoured to host Ambassador Philip Thigo, one of Kenya's foremost voices on digital transformation and artificial intelligence. His extensive experience in technology policy, innovation, and global digital leadership will provide invaluable insights into the opportunities and challenges AI presents for businesses and communities alike.

Adding an international perspective, the Summit welcomes Rajan Nazran, Chief Executive Officer of the Global Indians Network (GIN), as the Chief Guest. His session will explore how AI is transforming membership-driven organisations and how global networks can leverage emerging technologies to create greater value, stronger engagement, and lasting impact for their members.


A Venue Rooted in Community

This year's Summit will be hosted at the SAAJ Community Centre in Lavington, Nairobi. The SAAJ community has made significant contributions to Kenya's economic, social, and cultural development over many decades, making it a fitting venue for conversations centred on leadership, innovation, and collective progress.

New Experiences at Leadership Summit 3.0

This year's Summit introduces an exciting Business Expo, creating opportunities for exhibitors to showcase their products and services while fostering valuable connections between buyers, investors, and business leaders.

Delegates will also participate in the popular Meet the Experts networking sessions—designed to spark meaningful conversations, encourage strategic partnerships, and challenge industry leaders to explore new opportunities for growth and collaboration.

As UAN Leadership Summit enters its third edition, it continues to serve as a platform where ideas meet action, relationships create opportunity, and together we shape the future of our community, commerce, and leadership in the age of artificial intelligence.


Strategic Partners

The success of the UAN Leadership Summit 3.0 is further strengthened through strategic partnerships with the Asian Women Network (AWN) and the Global Indians Network (GIN). As a partner, AWN champions inclusive leadership and the advancement of women in business, ensuring diverse perspectives are represented in conversations shaping the future of commerce and innovation. GIN brings a global dimension to the Summit by connecting the Kenyan Asian community with an international network of entrepreneurs, professionals, and business leaders, fostering cross-border collaboration, knowledge exchange, and investment opportunities. Together, these partnerships reinforce UAN's vision of building stronger communities through collaboration, innovation, and shared prosperity.

We are equally grateful to our Food Partners, Lyons and Enigma, whose generous support will enhance the delegate experience through exceptional hospitality and refreshments throughout the Summit. We are also grateful to our venue partner Trademark Hotel and media partner The Asian Weekly.
