Konza Technopolis
Kenya's flagship 'Silicon Savannah' rises 60km south of Nairobi under Vision 2030, and while most of the planned city is still under construction, its smart-infrastructure layer already runs: a Tier III National Data Centre completed in 2021, 141 networked smart poles carrying lighting, CCTV, environmental sensors, digital signage and Wi-Fi (installed from February 2023), and an Intelligent Transportation System live across twelve sites — all tied together on the technopolis's own fibre backbone. Full occupancy is not expected before 2030.
