Intellimedia Networks has expanded into the African market with a new opening in Nairobi, Kenya, a press release reported.
"We welcome the entry of Intellimedia Networks into the African market through the planned presence in Nairobi, Kenya," Prime cabinet secretary of the Republic of Kenya, Dr. Musalia Mudavadi, said. "Intellimedia Networks' solutions fit our commitment to elevate the lives of Kenyans by creating opportunities for Kenyans to acquire new skills rapidly. Intellimedia will be warmly welcomed as a key player in a new wave of American businesses forming a base in Kenya, and as a solid partner and an enabler of high growth via emerging immersive technologies."
The expansion is confirmed following the completion of meetings between Kenyan government officials and the Kenyan business community at the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit in Washington, D.C this past December. Intellimedia's attendance at the summit reflects “a key step in the company's mission to provide innovative technology solutions to businesses across the continent,” a recent press release states.
The company specializes in solutions related to interactive and VR/AR-based training and education platforms, advanced content and media distribution platforms and live event broadcasting solution. The services will be used to improve vocational training and education, entertainment, education distribution, healthcare and e-commerce sectors, and support broadcasting of conferences and events held in Kenya.
"The focus of the Kenyan leadership team was impressive resulting in action-oriented meetings that have made it logical for us to engage in Kenya," said Darshan Sedani, president and co-founder of Intellimedia Networks. "We are excited to support one of the strongest economies in Africa by providing results-oriented approaches at a grassroots level in our business strategy coupled with identified customer application needs in Kenya. We aim to be effective in helping Kenya attain its short-term digitization goals."
Teodros Gessesse, CEO and co-founder of Intellimedia Networks, said he is pleased to support accelerated growth in Kenya.
"Our commitment is to work hard to make our solutions benefit the greatest number of Kenyans and radiate outwards into potential markets in the COMESA member countries," Gessesse said.
Intellimedia’s new establishment is expected to attract Kenya-based business opportunities and provide access to Intellimedia Networks' catalog of services, including design, implementation and support. The office will also offer training and education programs intended to edify local government, educational and training institutions with knowledge about how to support and maintain their technology solutions.
The company’s African expansion will be supported by members of Intellimedia India's executive team including Mr. Joy Shah, managing director, Mr. Devang Ajmera, head of operations and Mr. Rajkumar Ramakrishnan, VP of technology.
