TV broadcasting, animation and gaming, filming and photography, and ICT programming will be the main components of the digital media city.

The project which will be constructed on a 60-acre piece of land and modeled around South Korea’s Sangam Digital Media City in Seoul is expected to drive the development of Kenya’s creative industry.

According to Konza Technopolis Development Authority, a number of investors have already shown interest in the project and as the authority scouts for partnerships to realize the development of the digital media city once the feasibility study is completed.

Once complete, the project is projected to create at least 50,000 jobs.

KoTDA is currently expanding the development of horizontal infrastructures such as roads, walkways, green spaces, and all basic utilities. According to Mr Tanui, phase one of the National Data Centre has been completed and operational while phase two will be completed by end of next year to attract additional investors to the city.

“We have an uptake of 30 percent of spaces at the Konza Technopolis. Some of the investors have received approvals for their design and construction is expected to start soon.” Mr Tanui added.
