Coworking Spaces

Nairobi · Mixed

Nairobi Garage in Westlands is Kenya's most established coworking space and the anchor of what has been called Silicon Savannah. The Westlands location serves the city's tech startup community with serious infrastructure: fast fiber, well-equipped boardrooms, a professional reception, and regular programming that connects members to investors and corporate partners. Monthly memberships sell out during peak demand periods.

iHub is where the East African tech ecosystem conversation began in 2010, and it remains the most historically significant coworking space on the continent. The current iteration continues the original mission with a focus on technology, innovation, and cross-sector programming. The membership community is predominantly Kenyan and East African, which gives it a different character from the more internationally-oriented Nairobi Garage. Research fellows, startup founders, and developers make up most of the membership.

Gearbox is the Nairobi option for those whose work involves hardware, fabrication, or physical making alongside digital work. The makerspace and coworking combination serves product designers, engineers, and social entrepreneurs building in East Africa. The community is specialist rather than general, the equipment includes fabrication tools unavailable elsewhere in the city, and the monthly membership includes both desk access and equipment use.
