Mariblock Roundtable: Shaping Regulatory Frameworks
About the Event
Mariblock Roundtable comes to Nairobi for the first time with The Lobbying Imperative.
Hosted by Mariblock, in partnership with Kotani Pay and Chasing Mavericks, this edition explores lobbying as an essential driver of blockchain industry growth in Kenya.
Lobbying is often misunderstood, but in reality, it is one of the core forces behind how industries mature globally. From technology to finance, coordinated engagement with policymakers has enabled industries worldwide to thrive. Kenya’s blockchain ecosystem is no different. With builders, operators, and global players already engaging regulators, the question is: how do we organize and lobby effectively as an industry?
This Roundtable will demystify lobbying, reframe it as an economic driver, and give blockchain founders and operators practical insight into how to engage.
