“This is a major boost for our country’s efforts to become a global and regional leader in technology,” Ruto said. “It is also a testament to the hard work and dedication of our young people, who are increasingly driving innovation and entrepreneurship in the tech sector.”
The AWS development centre is located in Nairobi and will be staffed by a team of highly skilled engineers and other professionals.
The centre will focus on developing and hosting a wide range of cloud computing services, including computing, storage, database, and analytics services.
AWS is already working with a number of Kenyan companies and organisations, including the government, banks, and startups. The new development centre will allow AWS to better support these customers and help them accelerate their digital transformation initiatives.
The launch of the AWS development centre is a major coup for Kenya, and it is expected to significantly impact the country’s tech sector. The centre will help to create jobs and skills development, and it will also help to boost the country’s economy.
