⚽ As excitement builds ahead of the World Cup matches in North America, the tournament also presents a powerful opportunity for countries to showcase their business, investment, and partnership potential on a global stage.
This week, on the sidelines of World Cup in the New York City-area, business leaders, investors, and policymakers convened for SENEGAL REK to showcase the country's growing digital economy.
SENEGAL REK, held on June 14-15 at Rutgers University, aimed to strengthen economic and cultural ties between Senegal and the United States, its diaspora, and international partners. Cybastion was a sponsor of the business and investment forum on June 14.
During a panel on "AI, Fintech, Innovation & Digital Transformation", Antoine Puget, Cybastion's Chief Operating Officer, moderated a panel that highlighted Senegal's progress and vision for scaling digital transformation and business opportunities in its tech sector.
Senegal boasts 97% 4G coverage and one of Africa's highest mobile money adoption rates. The panel drew attention to the country's ambitious national digital strategy and potential investment opportunities to leverage fintech and artificial intelligence to accelerate digital innovation.
Cybastion partners with African countries like Senegal to bolster digital infrastructure, cybersecurity, digital solutions, and digital workforce development through its Digital Fast Track program.
