The stage is set for the first ever Kisii International Investors Conference which will begin on Friday with President Uhuru Kenyatta expected to grace it at the weekend.
The summit dubbed 'Kisii Entrepreneurship Summit 2016' will host high powered delegation with the official conference addressed by President Uhuru.
It will showcase the county's investment opportunities but also allow for exchange of innovative business ideas.
Governor James Ongwae said the theme of the conference is 'Tapping the Trade and Investment Opportunities in Kisii County' and is bound to focus more on agribusiness, trade, industrial infrastructure and health.
Ongwae confirmed that the summit's Chief Guest will be Dr Mukhisa Kituyi who is the current Secretary General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
Ongwae said Mr Kituyi who is a former MP and a former minister of Commerce and Industry of Kenya, will be addressing the conference on Friday.
The conference has attracted international investors with some from India, the United States of America (USA), United Kingdom (UK) and China having confirmed their attendance.
"This conference is to bring investors to the devolved units. Move them away from the capital city, Nairobi and ensure they invest their money in counties which have untapped potential and is rich of wealth," said Ongwae.
The exhibitors and investors both local and international will have a chance to showcase what they have to give them an opportunity to partner with the county government of Kisii and spur economic growth.
He indicated that some of the incentives will be land for the investors in which the county will fast track processing of land documents and also provide an atmosphere for business.
"We have already established pieces of land which is a guarantee for any multi-billion-shilling investments that will come," he said.
They youth are not forgotten too as innovators and entrepreneurs from other Kisii and other counties mainly youth will be given an opportunity to showcase their investments and the winning teams will be awarded Sh1 million.
The runners up will be given Sh500,000 while third place will pocket Sh250,000 as Ongwae insisted that he is keen on empowering small investors giving an example of India who he stressed that developed as a result of cottage industries.
