This hi-tech suburb is no Silicon Valley. Construction began in 2001 to transform Ebene, Mauritius into an IT hub, but the reality is a mixed bag. While it boasts a 12-story, 72-meter commercial tower, the broader Cybercity project has struggled to take off. Mauritius has been trying to position itself as a link between African and Asian markets, but the bureaucracy is a persistent headache. With only 15 kilometers separating Ebene from the capital Port Louis, this planned community may appeal to tech workers seeking an alternative to the congestion and chaos of the city, but it's hardly a tropical utopia.
