"It's called Node NBO (NBO is short for Nairobi), and it will serve as a co-working space for notable Bitcoin, freedom tech, compute, and energy companies and organizations in Africa, including Fedi, Gridless, and BTrust as well as the Human Rights Foundation (HRF)."
"The facility will also be home to three labs - an open-source energy lab, an open-source Bitcoin mining lab, and an AI compute lab. These labs will serve as places where teams can build, design, and assemble new products as well as strategize implementation. And Node NBO also has an event space, where just over 150 people can gather for special occasions and meetups."
""We needed a place where people who are working on hard things can come into proximity with each other, especially when there's overlapping areas that need specialization," said Hersman in regard to the impetus behind creating Node NBO. "We wanted to get the people behind this foundational layer of this tech we're all using in a place where they can find each other, work on cool stuff around each other, and accelerate each other," he added."
""We couldn't be more excited to be part of Node NBO," said Nwosu. "There's so much synergy already happening between the companies and organizations involved with Node NBO that it just makes sense to bring the"
Node NBO opened in Nairobi, Kenya on May 16, 2026 as a co-working space for Bitcoin, freedom tech, compute, and energy companies and organizations across Africa. The facility hosts three labs: an open-source energy lab, an open-source Bitcoin mining lab, and an AI compute lab. These labs provide space for teams to build, design, assemble new products, and plan implementations. Node NBO also includes an event space that can host just over 150 people for meetups and special occasions. The soft launch drew leaders from Fedi, Gridless, BTrust, and Minmo, along with other members of the Kenyan Bitcoin community. BitDevs Nairobi attendees and quantum computing researchers meet monthly in the event space.
