A three-year-old new business is driving Kenya into the universe of innovative assembling, constructing a labour force equipped for causing semiconductors and nanotechnology items that to work current gadgets from cell phones to fridges.
Anthony Githinji is the pioneer behind Semiconductors Advances Restricted, or STL, situated in Nyeri, around a three hours’ drive from Nairobi.
He carried his expertise to Kenya from the US, where he began work in 1997 on semiconductors — materials that lead power and are utilized in a great many items.
He said the greatest hindrance to section in any cutting edge business is tracking down a labor force with the right abilities. In choosing to begin a business in Kenya, his nation of beginning, Githinji said a gathering with the bad habit chancellor of Dedan Kimathi College of Science and Innovation, otherwise called DEKUT, and was a distinct advantage.
“DEKUT and STL framed an organization that considered us to connect with STEM-related schooling and foster it, device it and situate it toward our particular industry, which is the semiconductor and microprocessor space thus we began joining understudies and having temporary jobs through STL, and it turned out to be exceptionally clear and rapidly that the level and type of the school system and the result of DEKUT, I accept most establishments of higher learning in Kenya are extremely significant level,” Githinji said.
