IVOIRE TECH FORUM 2025: DIGITAL AFRICA ON THE MOVE FROM ABIDJAN

From July 9 to 11, 2025, Abidjan served as the epicenter of technology in Africa with the holding of the Ivoire Tech Forum, an initiative of the Ministry of Digital Transition and Digitalization.
This conference, whose theme is “ Digital Technology for Everyone: How Are New Technologies Transforming Our Daily Lives? “… provided an opportunity to explore the use of technology for inclusive development and improving citizens' lives.”

Artificial Intelligence, the star of this issue

It could not have been otherwise: artificial intelligence, the true technological revolution of recent years, emerged as the common thread running through all the solutions, products, and services showcased at the event.

As part of this initiative, TransNumerik presented its AI-powered solutions, designed to meet the strategic needs of African businesses:

✅ Microsoft Copilot Security : An AI-powered assistant that helps cybersecurity teams detect, analyze, and respond to threats more quickly;

✅ Smart Banking Recommendation (SBR) : Product customization solution for banks;

✅ Customer Value Management (CVM) : A solution for improving customer engagement across all industries.

The event also provided an opportunity to introduce the Centre d’Excellence Digital et Technologies (CEDITECH), a flagship initiative of the TransNumerik Group, dedicated to intensive, hands-on training in digital professions.

A giant leap for West Africa

This inaugural edition of the Ivoire Tech Forum reaffirmed Côte d’Ivoire’s position as a digital leader in West Africa, while laying the groundwork for an annual event with significant influence across the continent.
