What does it take to shape a nation’s digital future? In this episode, I speak with Eng. John Tanui, CEO of Konza Technopolis Development Authority and Principal Secretary for ICT and the Digital Economy in Kenya, about the bold steps being taken to position Kenya as a continental leader in digital innovation.
From spearheading the development of Konza Technopolis, one of Africa’s most ambitious smart city projects, to advancing digital skills through initiatives like Jitume ICT Hubs, Eng. Tanui shares lessons from the frontlines of Kenya’s transformation.
We unpack the critical role of public-private partnerships, emerging technologies, and policy leadership in building inclusive digital economies—while also addressing the challenges and opportunities that come with rapid innovation.
