Zanzibar is making bold moves to position itself as a rising hub for Africa’s digital and knowledge economies. This session explores the vision behind “Silicon Zanzibar,” with a spotlight on Fumba Town—a pioneering sustainable city development at the heart of the island’s tech transformation. From talent attraction and policy innovation to infrastructure and lifestyle, we examine how Zanzibar is crafting a new model for globally connected, tech-powered urbanism in the Global South.
