We all know how good Nairobi’s innovators and creatives have been at coming up with creative answers to problems: from payments apps to, to eating out. We don’t doubt that we have the energy and creativity to find solutions to any number of our problems. The difficulty is connecting these solutions to the problems they’re designed to create; iterating them so that they get better with time; and building the networks, the skills, and the institutions that will let us innovate faster, then let innovators reap the benefits of their creativity.
The IDE sector as per executive order 1 of 2022 comprises three sub sectors; Digital Economy and startups, Smart Nairobi and ICT Infrastructure. Further the sector is supported by an advisor under the Governor’s office.
