Konza City: Kenya's Premier Tech City.....

Konza Technology City is described as a “state-sponsored project sitting on a 5,000-acre parcel of land expected to be the centre of Business Process Outsourcing activity and software development in the region.”

The project is in the design phase but already businesses have started developing their own products and services to cater for the 200,000-strong workforce expected to work in the city.

Konza Technology City offers all the benefits of a greenfield, ‘clean sheet’ site but which is nevertheless right at the centre of things: 60km from the heart of Nairobi; 50Km from Jomo Kenyatta international airport; 500Km from Mombasa and its ports; the railway within 4Km.

The new city is centrally located with excellent transport and communication links.

 

 

 

 

 

it will soon be transformed by skyscrapers, hotels, international schools, a world-class hospital, a financial district, a high-speed mass transport system and integrated infrastructure. In this view of the future the logos of leading technology firms adorn the skyscrapers: Apple, HP, Microsoft, RIM, Toshiba
Kenya's push to become “the top Business Process Outsourcing offshoring destination of Africa” is gaining momentum. Keen to finalise this utopian dream, the government is about to close $7 billion worth of contracts with developers from around the world.
 

Intense working by International Design Engineers, Pell Frischmann from London, has resulted in the preparation of a series of Masterplanning options for the prestige Konza Technology City project. Concurrently Local ICT Consultants, Summit Strategies Limited, have prepared preliminary market demand DATA for the BPO sector.click to download(.ppt 8Mb)
