Hi all, Upon all the talk of buildings and parks, let me just make a voice for encouraging startup culture, tech entrepreneurial culture, and creating an environment for the entrepreneurs and innovators. Paul Graham founder of y-combinator explains this really well - How to be Silicon Valley<http://paulgraham.com/siliconvalley.html>(check out the 'Not Buildings' sections) & Can you buy a Silicon Valley? Maybe <http://paulgraham.com/maybe.html> (Full list of P.G.s essays here <http://paulgraham.com/articles.html>) All the same, I appreciate the efforts by the ministry and stakeholders, at the very least you will all agree it's better than nothing, right? :) On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 9:49 AM, robert yawe <robertyawe@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:
Hi,
On Saturday I was in Nanyuki where we had gone for the opening of a new shopping mall that will be housing a Nakumatt Supermarket. When I was there I took time to explore the region.
I believe we should seriously look at locating an ICT Park in Nanyuki as it has all the conditions. The weather is good, there is ample land, sufficient water and an opportunity for green energy production from solar and wind. There are also 2 fibre cables that have already landed in the town, KDN & GOK. There is an abundance of recreation facilities and the town is cosmopolitan. With 4 military barracks in the region you are sure of security.
While there I took time to talk to the Mayor who is very interested in such a project, any of you out there who are willing to invest in the future of Kenya? I will be putting together a think tank to look into the viability of such a project.
