Digital ecosystem
Nouakchott’s digital ecosystem has developed very recently. Over the past 10 years, start-ups and a few incubators have started to emerge in the area.
Hadina Rimtic
Nouakchott’s first incubator, Hadina Rimtic, was launched by a group of young people, and is managed by a young woman named Mariéme Kane. The objective is to support entrepreneurs from all sectors to use Lean, Agile and Design Thinking tools. Each year they also launch challenges and hackathons, and exchange projects to support the place of women in entrepreneurship.
Union of Young Entrepreneurs of Mauritania
This group was created in 2019, and brings together 42 young entrepreneurs from Mauritania. Their objective is to support each other, to maximize the exposure of each of their companies. Quote: “Our generation is there to support the city of Nouakchott”
Sahel FabLab
The first FabLab in Mauritania, created in 2016, the Sahel FabLab, offers the opportunity for students and entrepreneurs to access digital manufacturing equipment. This small workshop has equipment such as a 3D printer. They also organize workshops on topics such as blockchain.
