The Chief Executive Officer of Airbnb, Brian Chesky, is expected to meet with entrepreneurs around the globe at the Global Entrepreneurial Summit (GES) in Nairobi, Kenya, which already has the United State President, Barack Obama and his Kenyan counterpart, Uhuru Kenyetta in attendance.

Chesky is expected to explore the sharing economy’s impact and expansion, particularly on the African continent, which represents a huge opportunity for the company.

“The spirit of entrepreneurialism is a common thread that unites the Airbnb community across the globe. I’m thrilled to meet so many entrepreneurs here at GES, who will build and grow this community throughout Africa. And I’m excited to see how Airbnb will empower people across the continent to make extra income while providing travellers with a truly authentic experience,” Chesky revealed.

Chesky, who is also a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship (PAGE), would team up with  a group of US business leaders, committed to developing the next generation of entrepreneurs around the world. At the GES 2015, he will also participate in a roundtable alongside other PAGE members and US Administration officials, including US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker.

Furthermore, in a bid to continue developing entrepreneurs in Africa, Airbnb will also sponsor prizes for the winners of the GES Youth and Women Spark the Fire Pitch Competition, providing winners of the African Impact, top women-owned African business, and other winners with Airbnb travel accommodations, to support historically marginalised communities on their entrepreneurial journey.
