President Faye of Senegal has initiated the “Technological New Deal,” a comprehensive initiative that is designed to establish the nation’s digital autonomy.

The strategy emphasizes the development of domestic technological talent, the expansion of digital infrastructure, and the guarantee of universal connectivity for all citizens.

The initiative is a component of the Senegal 2050 Agenda, a comprehensive plan that aims to establish Senegal as a prominent participant in the global technology sector.

Senegal’s objective is to diminish its dependence on foreign technology and establish sustainable digital solutions by emphasizing local technological advancements.

Officials underscore that the “Technological New Deal” is not merely a policy statement; it is a call to action for policymakers, investors, and tech innovators to establish a digital ecosystem that is self-sufficient.

Senegal has the potential to establish a precedent for other African nations that are striving to assert their digital sovereignty if it is successful.
