Ebene, Mauritius

Ébène (Mauritian Creole pronunciation: [ebɛn]) is a suburb of Quatre Bornes, Mauritius, 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south of the capital, Port Louis.

Construction began in November 2001, with the suburb being promoted as a new information technology hub for Mauritius and as a link between African and Asian markets.

The aim was to create a hi-tech office area in order to dynamise the country.

As a result, it is also referred to as Ébène Cybercity or Cyber City.

[1] Mauritius Research and Innovation Council has a centre at Ebene where it has a ground station for its satellite MIR-SAT1.
