Strategic Sector 03

Telecommunications & Connectivity

Fibre backbones, subsea systems, towers, spectrum and satellite connectivity carry the continent's data. Coverage, capacity and resilience shape access to markets, public services and intelligence, and decide how much of Africa's data traffic depends on infrastructure the continent neither owns nor governs.

ADIIF's Approach

Sovereign technologies applied to the sector.

ADIIF approaches each sector through its three execution platforms: ADIIF Forum convenes the sector's public, capital and technology leadership; ADIIF Venture develops strategic programmes, partnerships and implementation pathways; ADIIF R&D provides research, technology evaluation and intelligence.

Sector programmes, partnerships and projects are described only once established. No sector project, partner or commitment is implied on this page.
