Kigali Innovation City

Kigali Innovation City (KIC) is being developed to be a mixed-use, master-planned, innovation city to be situated on 60 hectares of land in Kigali, Rwanda. KIC will seek to facilitate the development of pan-African talent and act as a technology innovation hub. Its plan includes four universities, office spaces, and start-up business incubators, alongside supporting facilities for retail, hospitality and accommodation. Kigali Innovation City is a growing tech hub home to CMU-Africa, large corporations, and technology companies. Its goal is to drive Rwanda’s economic growth through digital  transformation. The Government of Rwanda hopes to attract both domestic and foreign universities, technology companies and biotech firms, and have commercial and retail real estate. It is intended to be built on 70 hectares of land in Kigali's Special Economic Zone in Gasabo District.

Kigali Innovation City is part of the Government of Rwanda's Vision 2020 program and a public–private partnership between the Government and Africa50. Africa50, an infrastructure investment platform founded by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and African states, is a co-sponsor and partner that will help develop and finance the project.

Kigali Innovation City has been compared to the planned Konza Technology City in Kenya, announced in 2008,  and a planned technology cluster in Ghana, announced in 2013.
