Business Ireland Kenya Rebrands as Irish Chamber of Commerce Kenya
The new identity aims to strengthen business connections, trade and investment between Ireland and Kenya.
Business Ireland Kenya (BIK) has rebranded as the Irish Chamber of Commerce Kenya. The change marks a new chapter in efforts to strengthen business ties between the two countries.
The rebrand introduces a new name, logo and identity. More importantly, it sets out the Chamber’s focus on connecting Irish and Kenyan businesses, sharing market insights and supporting trade and investment.
The new logo features a shamrock, one of Ireland’s most recognisable symbols. Its roots represent the connection between businesses in Ireland and Kenya. Meanwhile, its three leaves represent the Chamber’s key areas of focus: Representation, Insight and Growth.
Representation reflects the Chamber’s role in giving Irish-Kenyan businesses a collective voice before institutions that shape the relationship. Similarly, Insight focuses on sharing knowledge about the two markets. Growth, in turn, aims to transform relationships and knowledge into business opportunities, capability and transactions.
The visual identity also combines Shamrock Green with Kenyan Earth, a brown shade that reflects Kenya’s place in the partnership.
Building on Nearly 13 Years of Business Connections
Chairperson of the Irish Chamber of Commerce Kenya, Katherine Muldoon, said the new identity reflects the organization’s work over nearly 13 years.
“The shamrock is Irish, but the roots are shared. For nearly thirteen years we have connected Irish and Kenyan business, and this identity says plainly what we do. We help members understand what is happening on the other side, meet the right people and turn existing opportunities into trade and investment,” said Muldoon.
The Embassy of Ireland supported the establishment of Business Ireland Kenya, which launched in December 2013.
Since then, the organisation has grown into a network of Irish, Kenyan and international professionals and businesses. Through networking events, knowledge-sharing forums and industry insights, it has helped members build relationships across the two markets.
Going forward, the Chamber will operate under the line Connect | Collaborate | Capitalise. Through this approach, it aims to bring businesses together, encourage partnerships and turn shared knowledge into trade and investment opportunities.
Rebrand Celebrated at Nairobi Reception
The Chamber marked the rebrand at a reception held at the Irish Residence in Nairobi on Thursday, 29 October 2026.
Ireland’s Ambassador to Kenya, H.E. Caitríona Ingoldsby, and Muldoon hosted the event. The reception brought together business stakeholders to celebrate trade connections and partnerships between Ireland and Kenya.
In addition, the Chamber has launched a refreshed website at irishchamber.co.ke. The website reflects its new identity and ambitions for the Ireland-Kenya business relationship.
The organisation continues to welcome Irish, Kenyan and international businesses and professionals with an interest in the two markets. It also invites organisations to support its work through partnerships and sponsorships.
Businesses and professionals can find information about membership and partnership opportunities on the Chamber’s website.
