Sierra Leone is making a bold move towards digital transformation with a $150 million investment in a cutting-edge Tech City hub. Led by Technology Minister Salima Bah, this project aims to position Sierra Leone as an innovation hub in West Africa, attracting entrepreneurs and tech players to drive economic growth.
Supported by key telecom companies like Africell and Orange Sierra Leone, Tech City is set to create new job opportunities in business process outsourcing and device assembly. This private-public partnership, coupled with grants from development financial institutions, underscores the concerted effort to ensure the hub’s success.
More than just a tech park, Tech City embodies Sierra Leone’s quest for technological advancement in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. This initiative not only aims to boost the country’s tech capabilities but also to showcase its potential as a significant player in the region’s innovation ecosystem.
As Africa experiences a surge in technological growth, Sierra Leone’s Tech City could set a precedent for smaller nations looking to make a mark on the global tech stage. Through this strategic investment, Sierra Leone is paving the way for a brighter and more connected future for its people.
