As a key part of the country's "Vision 2030" national plan, Konza Technopolis is dedicated to creating Africa's leading smart city through cutting-edge technologies like cloud computing and AI, promoting the modernization of infrastructure and public services. KONZA plans to establish a unified architecture, resource-sharing, and scalable cloud platform that will enable the intelligent management in key sectors such as government, transportation, and healthcare.
The complexity of building a smart city lies in breaking down traditional departmental barriers, integrating ICT infrastructure and data resources, and eliminating information silos. KONZA is tasked with migrating a variety of government and public service systems to a unified cloud platform to enhance management efficiency and address technological challenges in digital transformation. This integration process demands robust technical support. KONZA has chosen Huawei Cloud Stack, leveraging its cloud computing and AI technologies to overcome these challenges and achieve more efficient urban management.
KONZA has selected Huawei Cloud Stack as its strategic partner to build a sovereign cloud and spearhead urban digital transformation together. With Huawei Cloud Stack, Konza has successfully deployed a data center that meets Tier-III standards.

· Serving more than 120 customers, 75% governments, 25% private enterprises
· Becoming a magnet for over 50 partners and supports a whole host of smart city applications.
KONZA has achieved a major milestone in the digital space. Looking ahead, KONZA is set to enhance its cooperation with Huawei Cloud Stack to promote the upgrade of intelligent management, introduce an AI call center and government office application, and boost urban services and the development of the national digital economy. Both parties will work closely to nurture digital talent as well as build the Kenya Digital Lab to accelerate Kenya's national digital transformation and boost technological innovation across Africa.
