In order to reduce its dependence on this matter, Gabon plans to create a digital and industrial technology park in 2025 that will produce its own equipment. A fundraising campaign to finance this ambitious project is in the pipeline.
Providing Gabon with a space entirely dedicated to high technologies in the digital and industrial fields. This is the new ambition of the transitional authorities who, during the Council of Ministers on Thursday, December 19, 2024, gave the Ministry of the Digital Economy the go-ahead to sign an agreement with the Afrastructures SAS consortium with a view to raising private financing to be used for the establishment of a technology park in Libreville. An ambitious project that could see the light of day in 2025.
This technology park, it is hoped, will allow Gabon to limit its dependence on digital technology, in particular. Especially since this project aims to ” locally produce digital and electronic equipment, recycle and recover electronic waste, and create a digital and industrial ecosystem “. It will also involve ” building a digital clean room for the recovery of inaccessible or lost data on our digital storage equipment “.
Libreville also hopes that this project, which will serve both the public and private sectors, will also benefit countries in the Central African sub-region.
