Looking at the IT industry in Nairobi we can see by far the digitalization efforts done by Kenya in the last several years. 

One important aspect in this direction is the consistent growth of the number of startups, which, according to Statista have grown to 91 in 2022. 

While some call Nairobi the Silicon Savannah, the city still has a lot of room for growth in terms of digitalization and IT capabilities. The most recent case of a tech giant that hired the local workforce is OpenAI. According to Time Magazine the tech giant cleaned-up their AI tool of toxicity using Kenyans that provided their services for less than $2/hour. 

Nonetheless, the salary of a software developer in Nairobi starts at $458, and can go up to $1637, according to Glassdoor

Considring the salary range and the OpenAI case, Nairobi is attractive for international IT companies that seek for a cheap workforce to source out their Information and Technology activities in Africa. 
The list of notable companies located in Nairobi includes Asus, Cisco Systems, Intel, IBM and Huawei - according to Wikipedia data as of November 2023.
