AI-First Mindset Part 4:

Empowering Entrepreneurs with Cutting Edge AI Strategies With Raj Goodman Anand Date: 10th November 2025 Time: 9.00am - 12.30pm Venue: Trademark Hotel Location: Google Map

In the fourth session of our AI-First Mindset series, we’ll explore the power of AI Agents both workflow enabled and truly autonomous.

This hands-on session is designed to show participants how AI agents can automate real business workflows and handle complex tasks with minimal human input.

If you’ve primarily worked with tools like ChatGPT and large language models (LLMs), this session will expand your perspective on what AI can do. You’ll gain firsthand experience using agentic tools in live scenarios, allowing you to apply AI to automate and optimize processes within your business.

Whether it’s customer service, data management, or decision-making, AI agents can transform your operations.

EO Kenya | Friday Shot

We’ll also dive into compelling case studies to demonstrate how businesses are already leveraging AI agents to solve real-world challenges. These examples will highlight the practical impact of AI and show you what’s possible when AI takes on more responsibility, making decisions and completing tasks without constant human oversight.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a deeper understanding of AI agents’ capabilities and how they can redefine your approach to business automation. Get ready to unlock a whole new world of AI-driven possibilities!

Looking back at MEPA Unleashed 2025

MEPA Unleashed 2025 — Lead Beyond Limits: Inspire | Connect | Grow brought together visionary entrepreneurs and leaders from across our region for an experience that celebrated possibility, connection, and growth.

As our Regional Chair shared in his opening remarks, “This event is more than just a gathering; it’s a testament to our collective spirit a new frontier and a sign of things to come.”

Hosting Unleashed in Tunisia, a country without an established chapter, reminded us of EO’s boundless potential, EO Kenya | Friday Shot

Over two days of learning, sharing, and celebration, we explored how each of us can lead beyond limits, support one another, and continue building a stronger, more connected MEPA region.

For those who went, thank you for showing up with such energy, openness, and purpose. Together, you are shaping the future of entrepreneurship, and doing it with heart.
