The University of Eldoret successfully hosted the 2026 East African Coffee Markets and Conference (EACMC) from 26th to 27th March 2026 at the University Charter Grounds at the Main Campus. The conference marked the first time the regional coffee event was held in Kenya’s western region and attracted hundreds of farmers, exhibitors, researchers, agribusiness stakeholders, and students from across East Africa.

Overview of the Program

Many student-led innovations struggle to transition from concept to market-ready solutions due to limited exposure, mentorship, funding, and linkage to industry partners. The Campus Spark is a student Innovation Challenge, spearheaded by the Network of Entrepreneurial Leaders Institutions (NEIL), that seeks to bridge this gap by providing a national platform for university students to
showcase, refine, and scale innovative solutions that address real-world challenges.

Welcome to Episode One of the TAGDev 2.0 Docuseries at the University of Eldoret. In this premiere episode, we explore the management angle of the programme, highlighting the leadership, vision, and commitment driving TAGDev 2.0 at UoE.

We are proud of the innovators from the University of Eldoret who are visiting schools in Trans Nzoia to mentor primary and secondary students on technology and the CBC curriculum.

We're committed to bridging the gap in technology education and fostering a culture of self-reliance and creativity. Let's celebrate our students for being at the front lines of community service!
