The Land of a Thousand Hills — and one of Africa's fastest-rising technology nations. This is the home of our chapter.
► Watch on YouTubeA small country with big ambition.
In a generation, Rwanda has transformed into one of Africa's safest, cleanest and most forward-looking nations — with a clear plan, Vision 2050, to become a high-income, knowledge-based economy.
Kigali has become a magnet for technology and industry: innovation hubs, world-class universities and a government that moves fast on infrastructure and digital transformation. It's the perfect ground to grow industrial electronics — and the reason our chapter calls it home.
What makes it special.
Land of a Thousand Hills
Rolling green hills, volcanoes and the mountain gorillas of Volcanoes National Park — Rwanda's landscape is unforgettable.
Africa's rising tech hub
Kigali Innovation City, CMU-Africa and a booming startup scene make Rwanda one of the continent's fastest-moving technology centres.
Clean & safe
Kigali is repeatedly named among Africa's cleanest and safest cities — built on Umuganda, the national day of community service.
Made in Rwanda
A national drive to industrialise — manufacturing, energy and mobility — exactly the fields where industrial electronics matters most.
Heart of the continent
Centrally located and superbly connected, Kigali hosts pan-African summits, conferences and events year-round.
Warm hospitality
Visitors remember Rwanda for its people — welcoming, ambitious and proud of how far the country has come.

industrial future.
