https://tech-ish.com/202...ng-solutions-programme/

Konza Technopolis was ranked third in the 2021 International Association of Science Parks (IASP) Inspiring Solutions Program meant to recognise excellence within science parks and areas of innovation management and give visibility to the best projects and initiatives.

IASP, which boasts of 350 members and 115,000 companies in 78 countries globally, selects the best top 10 solutions deployed by its members annually.

The 10 finalists are selected by an expert panel, before IASP members vote for the three winners, who are announced live at the IASP World Conference.

The Konza Technopolis Development Authority (KoTDA) was recognized for establishing the Konza Innovation Ecosystem Initiative (KIEI), which brings together the Government, Academia, Private sector, and non-state actors to champion the Technopolis innovation agenda resulting in the creation of new enterprises.

A total of 20 new companies owned by the youth have been created and are now commercializing because of the KIEI approach. Further, 200 children between the age of 9 and 15 have been trained on innovation while over 1000 youth have been supported to develop new ventures.

KoTDA Chief Executive Officer, Eng. John Tanui – who is also the President of IASP Africa Division, has hailed the Award as a recognition of the KIEI’s role in nurturing an innovation culture in Kenya’s economy, terming it as a game changer in how the innovation ecosystem operates in Kenya.

“This initiative has addressed the gaps that were in the innovation ecosystem by ensuring there is co-ordination within the innovation ecosystem and providing a programme to innovators to channel their ideas and solutions to be able to turn them into start-ups.” Eng. Tanui said.

He added, “Through the programme, we’ve got impressive innovations on healthcare, logistics and quality work. This has created a model we can replicate across Africa and ensure that the partnerships we have established with various stakeholders in the innovation ecosystem continue to grow.”

Eng. Tanui spoke on the sidelines of the IASP’s International Board Meeting which was held in Malaga, Spain. The two-day Board meeting discussed the association’s future strategy and to outline the path for IASP to follow as we adjust to a post-pandemic world.

By Isaac Blessings

Kitengela is a fast growing town located in Kajiado County in the outskirts of Nairobi but within the Nairobi Metropolitan area. The growth of this populous town is attributable to the high number of companies in the area that have created employment both directly and indirectly. A sizeable number of people have also invested in real estate thanks to the affordability of land.

In this article, WoK takes a look at the famous people who have invested in Kitengela as well as their investments.

Senator Mithika Linturi

Mithika Linturi is the current senator representing Meru County. Linturi has invested in land and properties in Kitengela through his different companies. The details were first revealed in 2019 during a court battle between the senator and his ex-wife Marianne Kitany. The former Chief of Staff to DP William Ruto claimed ownership of some of Linturi’s properties located in Kitengela which include land titled Kaputiei North/ 10724 which is worth Ksh 4.2 million, Chuna Estate Kitengela which is worth Ksh 56 million, piece of land L.R No. Kajiado/Kaputiei North/10444 worth Ksh 7.2 million, a plot worth Ksh 100.8 million – L.R.NO.

He is also in the presidential race through his party United Democratic Alliance (UDA) in the August 9th 2022 general elections. Ruto has invested in the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) sector-owning the Kitengela Gas Company. This was according to a report that was released by the Interior Security Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i in August 2021.

The details of Churchill owning the nightclub were revealed by Jalango during an exclusive interview with Mercy Atis on the #BongaNaJalas show that aired on Jalango TV YouTube channel on December 15th 2020.

Well captured. We are looking forward to further updates

Just as water flows downhill, the biggest brains most often emerge from high growth spots.
Why? Migration, high income, better facilities and so on.
This is why people have been migrating to Nairobi for aeons and Nairo dominates nearly everything.
New Runda's time is now here .
JonJones, is there any school from Thika on this top-3 list?

Due to financial and economic considerations. Schools take up a lot of land space in terms of physical infrastructure e.g classes, hostels, playgrounds, halls, teacher housing etc. Their revenues are dominated by fees charged to parents.

Typically, the Income and Expenditure Account of a School is as follows:

Revenues
1. School Fees xxx
2. Other service charges xxx

Expenses
1. Teachers' Salaries xxx
2. Operating expenses e.g. electricity, water, food xxx
3. Other activities eg Sports, exams xxx
4. Administrative costs xxx
5. Finance Costs xxx
6. Land xxx
7. Plant and Equipment xxx

It makes economic sense to locate price conscious schools in areas where land is cheap but relatively accessible to the target market.

The KCPE performance supports the hypothesis that Kitengela is a Middle Class neighborhood , not Upper Class like Runda.
