The Konza Technopolis Development Authority (KoTDA) has officially changed its name to Technopolis Development Authority (TDA).

🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

In an official statement shared by KoTDA on June 18, the rebranding follows President William Ruto's assent to the Technopolis Act, 2026, which was signed into law on May 11, 2026.

The Act, formally identified as No. 13 of 2026, was subsequently gazetted in Kenya Gazette Supplement No. 120 on May 15, 2026.

“Following the Presidential assent to the Technopolis Act, 2026 (No.13 of 2026) on 11th May 2026 and its subsequent publication in Kenya Gazette Supplement No. 120 dated 15th May 2026, we wish to notify the public that the name of Konza Technopolis Development Authority (KoTDA) has officially changed to Technopolis Development Authority,” stated the notice in part.

📌 What You Need to Know

This means the authority that has long been associated with the ambitious smart city project now operates under a fresh legal identity.

According to the smart city authority, the name change is not merely cosmetic, as it reflects an expanded mandate under the new legal framework.

It also means that all obligations under the contractual relationships remain intact despite the change of name, so business continues as usual.

“The change of name does not affect any obligations, assets, liabilities, operations or contractual relationships with our investors, customers, tenants, partners or other stakeholders,” stated the notice.

The authority further orders that references to KoTDA in official documents, correspondence, contracts, and other engagements shall, henceforth, be construed to refer to the Technopolis Development Authority.

The authority's physical location remains unchanged, still situated at Konza Technopolis along the Mombasa Road side of Nairobi.
