Snapplify was recognised with three awards at the 26th Nairobi International Book Fair, held from 24–28 September 2025 at the Sarit Centre. Among the honours, Snapplify was named Best Content & Impact Award Winner—recognising the company’s deep commitment to advancing education through purposeful digital tools and meaningful partnerships.
Leading with Impact
The Best Content & Impact Award is a prestigious recognition, highlighting the exhibitor that delivers measurable, real‑world value to learners and educators. This year, Snapplify stood out for its focus on inclusive learning solutions and for launching Book Buddy—an AI tutor now available to Kenyan learners.
Book Buddy supports students by offering revision help, summarising content, and answering questions directly alongside their existing curriculum approved textbooks. It enables learners to engage with content in their own languages, even in low‑data environments. This tool captured the attention of educators, publishers, and parents alike—demonstrating Snapplify’s continued leadership in practical, learner‑first innovation.

Each of these awards celebrates a different aspect of excellence—substance, storytelling, and execution. Taken together, they recognise Snapplify as a trusted and inspiring presence in African education.
A Platform for Meaningful Engagement
Throughout the five-day event, the Snapplify team engaged with publishing partners, institutions, teachers, learners and parents. A standout moment was a session on AI and its impact on publishing, where Snapplify explored the benefits and risks of artificial intelligence in book publishing. The session sparked important conversations about ethics, access, and the future of content creation in Africa.
But it was the real-world demonstration of tools like Book Buddy that drove the strongest response—showing how AI can be used to solve genuine learning challenges today.
Recognised for Relevance and Results
The awards reflect Snapplify’s ability to deliver on its core mission: using technology to improve educational outcomes. The team’s focus on relevance to local needs, mother tongue support, and equity in access was central to winning the Content & Impact Award.
Winning Best Thematic Representation showed how Snapplify’s messaging and exhibit design aligned perfectly with this year’s fair theme: Inspiring Readers, Shaping Futures. The Best Medium-Sized Stand award further acknowledged the high level of engagement, creativity, and professionalism at the Snapplify stand.
