LIBREVILLE — Gabon is intensifying efforts to accelerate digital transformation as the government develops a national strategy aimed at building a more inclusive and technology-driven economy.

Authorities are focusing on digital public services, connectivity, technology infrastructure, digital skills, and innovation as key pillars of the country’s emerging digital economy.

Technology experts say stronger digital infrastructure could improve public services while creating new opportunities for businesses, startups, and technology professionals.
