The Ekiti Knowledge Zone (EKZ) is conceived as a world class knowledge park which leverages on Ekiti’s comparative advantage to create a vibrant ecosystem of innovative businesses and a conducive environment for collaboration, innovation and technology transfer in line with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and the four-point agenda outlined by the State Governor. The development shall be structured as a Public-Private Partnership, with Ekiti State Government providing land, and the required infrastructure to make the site conducive for investors and stakeholders. The main objective of the EKZ development is to catalyze economic growth for the State and inclusive socio-economic growth for its citizens. It seeks to achieve this by taking advantage of its position as a gateway to the North, good topography and close proximity to Lagos and Abuja, and typically a renowned State for quality education and distinguished scholars.
