4 Konza Technology City vision statement Konza Konza Technology City will be a sustainable, world-class technology hub and a major economic driver for the nation, with a vibrant mix of businesses, workers, residents, and urban amenities. 4

5 Konza is 60km from Nairobi, providing opportunity and challenge. 5

6 At 5,000 acres, Konza is comparable to other world-class cities. 6

7 Konza will be positioned as a mid-density urban environment. SHoP triangle density diagram workshop 1 7

8 A citybuilding strategy will help Konza accommodate anticipated growth in Kenya. Market trend Development indicators confirm growth potential for Kenya Implication for Konza Opportunity to accommodate growth if competitively positioned Suburban areas offer plentiful land supply have drawn development activity Offer a value proposition as a standalone city rather than competing with suburban areas Areas with good connectivity have attracted growth A109 and rail improves development prospects High population growth, high urbanization rates, and GDP growth highlight that the fundamentals are in place for strong growth in real estate demand in upcoming years. Given the wide availability of well-connected land within Nairobi metropolitan area, for growth to occur Konza should be different. It should position itself as a self-sustaining city, providing all the elements required to attract people and workers. 8

9 11 case studies narrowed from a list of 26 showcase the ingredients for successful technology hub development. Selected case studies reflect a variety of sizes, business models, locations, economic environment and time of inception 9

10 Case studies vary in size, age, and economic context. Developed Case Size (acres) Year of Establishment Distance from CBD (km) Current Employment RTP 7, ,000 Cambridge ,000 Shannon ,500 Singapore ,000 MMC 183, ,000 Emerging Dubai ,000 HITEC City N/A Zhongguancun 128, ,000 African Emerging Curitiba ,000 Smart Village ,000 Innovation Hub N/A 10

11 Case studies reveal base criteria for technology hub development. Anchors that build a brand and attract a mix of firms. University that interfaces with large and small companies, creates a brand for the hub, and generates on-site economic activity. High quality and reliable infrastructure including telecom and utilities as well as transport links. Attractive financial incentives including tax incentives and other policies to reduce the cost of business. Low regulatory burden with ease of doing business and one-stop-shop point of service. Mixed-use character creating a desirable, active, and walkable district. Special-purpose governance entity to carry out project mission and ensure long-term success. 11

12 Outreach to over 300 companies identified sector opportunities and requirements for tenants to locate in Konza. Sector Scope Assessment Synthesis and Recommendations ITO / BPO Telecom Global Strategic Fit Interview Insights Education Financial Services Local Anchor / Follower Life Sciences SMEs Public Sector SME Cross-Sector Job Impact (incl. students) Sector Summaries Data Collection Long Interviews Public Forums 12

13 In parallel, economic analysis identified sectors that should be fostered at Konza to achieve its goals. Prioritizing sectors for Konza Large and fast growing in Kenya Level of expenditure on ICT as % of contribution to GDP Demonstrated gap in ICT spend between Kenya and developed ICT markets Sector trends to consider Sector drivers Current competitiveness Regulatory trends Labour availability 13

14 Four knowledge-focused themes emerge, two of which are significantly government funded. Sector Highlights Key funder Education Life Science ITO / BPO Telecom Could be anchored by JKUAT, UoN, MMU Post-graduate education, focus on innovation and employable skills Sector will benefit from internships and partnership-projects with commercial institutes operating in KTC Could be anchored by Nairobi Hospital, KARI, KEMRI Primary, secondary and tertiary care facilities; can attract hospitality industry Life sciences R&D (Human / Agri.), driven by national research agenda High-level of collaboration with KTC universities, and in time with drug companies and medical device production firms / spin-offs Could be anchored by Dhanush, Craft Silicon Leveraging infrastructure, young / educated workforce for global market Strong university partnerships for recruitment Financial incentives and regulatory reform will be critical Could be anchored by Safaricom, Wananchi, RIM Leveraging KTC for regional market access Strong university partnerships for recruitment Financial incentives and regulatory reform will be critical Gov Gov / Comm.

43 KOTDA / MDP2 will rely on the flow of funds to pay for on-site infrastructure, using project finance where needed. Funding Funding MDP2 Design and construction overview of some infrastructure GoK Project finance Debt KOTDA Funding PPPs Equity Mezzanine Facilitator Funding Municipal services Lease and service fees Taxes Private developers Individual parcel development 43

44 Residential land development will be the primary source of land revenue to pay for non-ppp infrastructure. Phase 1 Land Lease Revenues $60,000,000 $50,000,000 $40,000,000 $30,000,000 $20,000,000 $10,000,000 $ Office Lab High-end res Mid-end res Flex Retail Hotel 25 year lease payment schedule. 44

45 Infrastructure costs will be frontloaded in cash $ ($20,000,000) ($40,000,000) ($60,000,000) ($80,000,000) ($100,000,000) ($120,000,000) ($140,000,000) ($160,000,000) Non-PPP infrastructure expenditures 45

46 but can be smoothed using a central government bond. $ ($20,000,000) ($40,000,000) ($60,000,000) ($80,000,000) ($100,000,000) ($120,000,000) ($140,000,000) ($160,000,000) Non-PPP infrastructure expenditures Total bond payments Assumes total infrastructure costs of $400 million, a 12.5% interest rate, and a 25 year central government bond. 46

47 For example a standard GO bond can help finance the development; GoK will need to cover the funding gap. $80,000,000 $70,000,000 $60,000, funding gap $50M Bond structure Bond term: 25 years Yield to Maturity: 12.5% Denomination: KSh $50,000,000 $40,000,000 $30,000,000 $20,000,000 $10,000,000 Standard Bond Payments Land Lease Revenues $ Annual funding gap (millions) $0 ($23) ($43) ($49) ($45) ($44) ($42) ($38) ($32) ($26) ($22) ($16) ($10) $1 $32 $38 47

48 Current market conditions provide the opportunity to reduce financing costs using Eurobonds. $80,000,000 $70,000,000 $60,000,000 $50,000,000 $40,000,000 $30,000,000 $20,000,000 $10,000, funding gap $28M Bond structure Bond term: 25 years Yield to Maturity: 5.5% Principal payment: USD Eurobond Payments Land Lease Revenues $ Annual funding gap (millions) $0 ($13) ($24) ($26) ($22) ($21) ($20) ($16) ($10) ($4) ($1) $1 $3 $6 $9 $12 48

49 A loan from a multilateral institution would help to minimize the funding gap. $80,000,000 $70,000,000 $60,000,000 $50,000,000 $40,000,000 $30,000,000 $20,000,000 $10,000,000 $0 Bond structure Bond term: 25 years Yield to Maturity: 5.5% Principal payment: USD 2019 funding gap $11M 2033 funding gap $11M Loan structure Loan term: 30 years Interest rate: 2% Moratorium: 10 years Loan Disbursements Land Lease Revenues Loan Payments Eurobond Payments Annual funding gap (millions) $0 ($5) ($10) ($11) ($10) ($9) ($9) ($8) ($7) ($5) ($11) ($9) ($6) $0 $13 $7 49

50 Several sources of financing are available to the GoK for non-ppp investments. Government Funding Financing sources Donor agencies Multilateral institutions loans Multilateral institution guarantee Bilateral agreements China Development Bank MNCs and developers General Electric Landmark International financial markets Eurobond Sovereign Bond Interest costs Low High 50

51 Combing the Eurobond with a loan from a multilateral institution is the preferred financial structure. Eurobond Bond size: $400 million Interest rate: 5.5% Term: 25 years Multilateral Institution Loan Loan amount: $225 million Interest rate: 2% Term: 30 years Moratorium: 10 years Minimum gap to be financed by other government revenues 51

52 Public investment in Phase 1 of Konza will have substantial economic benefits. $400M Non-PPP infrastructure: public investment $180M GoK PPP infrastructure: public share of investment 16,675 Direct jobs $940 M Private investment $1.3 billion Gross Regional Product $400M Annual wages at full Phase 1 build-out, assumed to be 2020 * Non-PPP and PPP infrastructure investment costs do not include off-site infrastructure. * Public share assumed to be 50% of PPP costs. * All figures are in 2012 dollars. 52

56 Phase 1 will catalyze the buildout of Konza, leading to broader economic impacts. Konza Phase 1 Konza Phase 1 must create the enabling environment and establish the critical mass of jobs and services required to stimulate future phases of Konza.
