JKUAT Industrial Park (JKUAT IP), formerly known as Nairobi Industrial and Technology Park, was set up to accelerate innovation and commercialization towards the achievement of the aspirations of Kenya under the Kenya Vision 2030. The JKUAT Industrial Park is a result of a mutual Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between JomoKenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology(JKUAT) and the Ministry of Industrialization and Enterprise Development (MoIED) signed in 2012.

Kenya’s Vision 2030 recognizes SME Industrial and Technology Parks as important vehicles through which the growth of Kenya’s manufacturing sector can be fast-tracked.
