The aim of these flagship hubs is to:

- - Expand the manufacturing sector to the counties to grow Kenya’s export production through manufacturing;
  - Provide each county an opportunity to attract and locate investments that will tap their niche markets and products;
  - Create and increase the number of direct jobs under the EPZ Program to reduce rural — urban migration;
  - Grow local entrepreneurship in manufacturing and services under the Export Business Accelerator/SME Program in order to improve the export business by small scale indigenous enterprises (SMEs);
  - Ease access to raw materials due to locating in the source areas;
