Jumia, the leading pan-African e-commerce platform, announced the availability of Starlink’s high-speed, low-latency satellite internet on its platform in Kenya, empowering residents with reliable connectivity for everyday needs.
This marks the second phase of the collaboration announced last year, which initially saw Jumia retailing Starlink residential kits to consumers in Nigeria.
"This agreement aligns perfectly with our mission of using technology to improve lives across Africa. By expanding access to Starlink's internet service through the Jumia platform, individuals and communities can be empowered with high-speed, low-latency internet access, driving economic growth and unlocking new opportunities,” said Hisham ElGabry, Group Chief
Commercial Officer, Jumia Group.
Starlink’s internet service eliminates limitations imposed by traditional infrastructure, making it ideal for residential use. Kenyans can now enjoy the benefits of reliable high-speed connectivity, unlocking a world of educational resources, e-commerce opportunities, and enhanced communication capabilities.
