Speaking at the Sema Na Spokex, John Paul Okwiri, CEO of Konza Technopolis, highlighted strategic partnerships with local private sectors, including Riara University and Export Processing Zones (EPZs), which have collectively invested billions into diverse projects within Konza City.
“The BETA Plan is more than infrastructure; it is about nurturing innovators, not just degree holders,” said Okwiri. “Our goal is to create over 1 million jobs for youth, in partnership with the Jitume platform, equipping them with internet-based skills and access to online income opportunities. So far, 600,000 youths have received training, and over 100,000 can now access jobs online.”
The initiative also seeks to expand local and international entrepreneurship within Konza Technopolis, providing a platform for innovators to grow their enterprises and fully benefit from Kenya’s digital ecosystem.
Government Spokesperson, Hon. Isaac Mwaura, emphasized the government’s commitment: “We want to ensure that opportunities in all public institutions are explained clearly and utilized to create jobs for the youth. Konza Technopolis will serve as a model of how public-private partnerships can drive inclusive economic growth.”
Konza Technopolis continues to demonstrate how digital innovation can transform the economy, empowering youth and positioning Kenya as a global technology and entrepreneurship hub.
