Evidence snapshot for Gaborone
Botswana Innovation Hub — Gaborone's Government-Backed Science & Technology Park shows that Gaborone hosts a 57-hectare government science and technology park established in 2010, which by FY2015/16 had grown to 109 tenants and by 2021 was managing an incubator portfolio of 60 start-ups from roughly 75 applications per year, supported by an innovation fund backing 15 companies with grants exceeding P1 million each. A December 2021 World Bank review found real activity at the hub but noted persistent limits in its capacity to produce investment-ready ventures. The practices do not provide evidence about other aspects of Gaborone's economy, infrastructure, or development beyond the innovation hub itself.
