Wasoko joins the launch as the first anchor company and recognized representative of the private sector for Silicon Zanzibar. Wasoko's CEO and founder, Daniel Yu, commented on the opening of the Innovation Hub: "As a Pan-African technology company, Wasoko has been searching for a location where we can gather the best talent from all over the continent and beyond to innovate and develop new products and services for our customers. Although we gave traditional locations like Dubai and London some thought, we ultimately remained steadfast in our conviction that technology for Africa should be developed in Africa. The Wasoko Innovation Hub will be a part of the ongoing redevelopment of Fumba Town, which is being overseen by the German engineering company CPS. Fumba Town is being built up south of the Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, along a 1.5 km stretch of the ocean shore, with hundreds of contemporary homes and businesses being built there.
