Maai Mahiu is experiencing a major transformation due to the Naivasha Special Economic Zone (SEZ), a multi-billion-shilling initiative by the Kenyan government aimed at establishing the country as a key industrial hub in East Africa. With over 20 investors committing more than Sh100 billion, including notable companies like TAD Motors and a Sh650 million potato processing plant, the SEZ is projected to create over 100,000 jobs and enhance foreign currency earnings through exports. Additionally, partnerships with UAE's G42 and Microsoft for a geothermal-powered data center further highlight the SEZ's potential for economic growth.
