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 CybercityorCyber City.[1]
Mauritius Research and Innovation Council has a centre at Ebene where it has a ground station for its satellite MIR-SAT1.[2][3] Mauritius Metro is being expanded to Ebene.[4]
The Atal Bihari Vajpayee Tower (formerly Cyber Tower One)[5][6] is a 12-storey, 72-metre-tall commercial building located in Ébène Cybercity.
