The Konza Technopolis Development Authority (KoTDA) is rolling out an initiative aimed at exposing Kenyan innovators and start-ups to top global tech firms and investors.
This is through a three-month Enterprise Innovation Challenge that seeks to harness the innovative space for “techies” and start-ups to commercialise their ideas.
KoTDA Chief Executive John Tanui said the challenge is part of the initiatives to build a thriving innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.
“The softer elements of building a knowledge-based economy and innovation is yet to be fully exploited.
This challenge is the beginning of our initiatives and will result in building a vibrant innovation pipeline,” he said in a statement.
