Kenya is an increasingly strong partner for foreign direct investment (FDI) but some hurdles still remain. Foreign investors seeking to establish a presence in Kenya generally receive the same treatment as local investors, and multinational companies make up a large percentage of Kenya's industrial sector. There is little discrimination against foreigners in investment, ownership, or access to government-financed research, and the government's export promotion programs do not distinguish between local and foreign-owned goods.
