Vice President Ponatshego Kedikilwe has revealed that a further investment in excess of P350 million will be made available for the construction of Botswana Innovation Hub (BIH) Headquarters Icon building.

Officially opening the International Association of Science and Technology Parks conference in Gaborone last week, Kedikilwe said that the building will not only house BIH Headquarters, but will also provide accommodation to a number of other companies and institutions which may not necessarily want to construct their own facilities on the Park.

He revealed that to date, the government has invested some P245 million in the development of primary infrastructure in a 57-hectare piece of land on a prime location, which is strategically located along the Airport Road.
