Konza Technopolis is a key flagship project of Kenya's Vision 2030 economic development portfolio and is anticipated to be a world-class city. It will be powered by a thriving information, communications and technology sector, superior reliable infrastructure and business-friendly governance systems. The technopolis, housed under the Ministry of ICT and the Digital Economy in collaboration with the Republic of South Korea, is developing Kenya Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, which will mainly focus on innovative postgraduate studies. Speaking during the signing of the partnership, Konza Technopolis CEO John Tanui said the collaboration will help accelerate the digital transformation of the Kenyan economy. "The universities in Konza Technopolis are envisioned as a special place where innovative groups develop and apply new technology, as a place where higher education and industry come together, and a site of life-long learning," Tanui said.
