Digital maturity of the territory
Connectivity
Digital ecosystem
Telecommunications companies have a strong position in the city’s digital ecosystem. They have notably been recently involved in the creation of Wi-Fi spaces in public places in the city, and the promotion of technologies serving the population.
Other players in the digital ecosystem such as incubators and start-ups are emerging.
Women and ICT in Africa
Digital mapping of the city has been launched with students from the Faculty of Geography of the University of Niamey. Their objective is to demonstrate that women are as capable as men, and to do so-called “technical” work. The project is expected to take place under the Open Street Map initiative.
