This is really wonderful! I don’t really know much about this, but Nairobi is one of the main cities in China’s Belt and Road initiative to bring Chinese goods in to Africa. This means Nairobi could become an appealing place to do manufacturing in Africa. And Raspberry Pi is doing it! Big respect to them for taking this step.

I also learned about a new manufacturing facility in Nairobi thanks to this. There’s a large manufacturing park where they are making these boards. I happen to be designing an open source solar powered farming robot and we hope to help people start up manufacturing all over the world. This looks like it will be a great place for us to help start production of our machines in Nairobi!
