Tech giant Google has announced that it will build its first product development centre in Africa in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi. In 2018 the company announced a $1bn (£770m) investment plan for Africa to capitalise on the growing number of internet users on the continent. Earlier this year, payments technology firm Visa and computer software giant Microsoft also opened innovation hubs in Nairobi. The centres will see job opportunities for software engineers, researchers and designers. Why is Nairobi a preferred place by Tech Giants ?
