  1. NAIROBI INDUSTRIAL AND TECHNOLOGY PARK A VISION 2030 MANUFACTURING SECTOR FLAGSHIP PROJECT OF THE MINISTRY OF INDUSTRIALIZATION, THE JOMO KENYATTA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE AND TECHNOLOGY AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR Dr. Fred MugambiMwirigi Eng. B Kariuki JKUAT

  2. Introduction • Kenya’s Vision 2030 recognizes SME Industrial and Technology Parks as important vehicles through which the growth Kenya’s manufacturing sector can be fast-tracked • Industrial and Technology parks are key elements of the infrastructure supporting the growth of today’s global knowledge economy. • By providing a location in which government, private sector and universities cooperate these parks create environments that foster collaboration and innovation.

  3. Justification • There is huge brain power in Kenya • We need to develop Parks that can be used to incubate technology in this country • That way the divide that exists between academia and industry will be bridged • The country will also harness the brain power of its population, transform this power to finished products and broaden its export pool

  4. Link to Vision 2030

  5. Examples around the World • China has over 80 Industrial Parks with some hosting as many as 200 companies. Many are owned by universities • Brazil has over 50 Industrial Parks • Egypt has over 15 Parks (UNDP support) • Czech Republic has over 30 business incubation parks • In Taiwan Hsinchu Science Based Industrial Park has over 180 high-tech companies • In Singapore the Singapore Science Park occupies 270,000 sq. m floor space and has over 200 tenant companies • Silicon Valley is an example of a successful Technology Park • India has become a hub for computing for the rest of the world through technology parks

  6. Park Strategic Objectives • To facilitate transfer of technology and promote local knowledge-based enterprises • To create an environment for inventiveness and innovativeness • To stimulate and manage the flow of knowledge and technology amongst university, R&D institutions, companies and markets • To provide other value added services together with high quality space and services • To translate Government policies into sectoral strategies and action plans

  7. Priority Sectors • Agro-processing • Agro-machinery • Electric and electronics • Metal • Bio-technology • ICT • Packaging

  8. Park Complex Park Incubator (Incubation Centers) Technology Museum Support Services (Banks, shops, cafes, etc) Industrial Park Laboratories and workshops Conference Center Recreational facilities

  9. Park services • Research and Development support • Provision of space and infrastructure (roads, water, energy, premises) at subsidized rates • Technical Support • Management Support • Marketing Support • Financial support • Other services (to the public) like banking, restaurants, museums, theatres and shopping malls may be provided in future to further subsidize incubated firms.

  10. Research/Innovation Incubation Technical Support Work Space Market Linkages Management Support Independent Innovators Stand-alone weaned Enterprise Industrial Park Incubator JKUAT Research Pool Other Research Pools Other services Finance Linkage Business Planning Support R&D Support

  11. Proposed Nairobi Industrial Park (NIP) • Nairobi Industrial Park (NIP) will be a JKUAT/GoK/Private Sector initiative • The aim of NIP will be to facilitate transformation of innovations and research findings into sustainable enterprises by availing an incubation process • NIP will stimulate and manage the flow of knowledge and technology from universities, R&D institutions and other innovation pools to the industry

  12. Site/Location

  13. 32 Acres of Land Set Aside for the Park

  14. Industrial and Technology Park University Research Findings / Inventions Commercialization Company/ Anchor tenant Research Pools Link Between Research Pools and the Park

  15. Milestones in Five Years… • A total of 200 acres of land (the park to develop in phases independent of location) • At least 60 members of staff (Park Staff) • At least 100 private enterprises • Graduate at least 30 firms every year (after 5 years) • At least 2000 employees (Park, incubated firms and other service providers in the Park)

  16. Key Stakeholders • Ministry of Industrialization (MoI) • Ministry of Higher Education Science and Technology • JKUAT • Professional bodies • Financial Institutions • Development Partners • County Governments • Private Sector

  22. The Road Ahead (Six Months) • Fencing of Park land • Detailed consultancy work (Architectural designs, EIA, Feasibility studies, etc) • Initial infrastructure • Bill board to be unveiled on the land • Necessary licenses sought • Park company registered • Park governing board appointed • Fund raising efforts

  23. Opportunities Available • Consultancy work (Technical designs) • Construction of Park components • Buying stake in the Park (PPP arrangement) • Incubation of technologies • Technology/ innovation diffusion and transfer • Marketing opportunities for technologies and products (Technology Museum) • Link to resource pools (technical support)
