Our North Star
Our Vision
To build the digital, AI, connectivity and financial backbone that bridges Africa and Asia.
Our Strategic Ambition
Bridging Africa & Asia: Mauritius at the Heart of the Digital Ocean.
Why change is necessary
The telecommunications environment is evolving rapidly. This strategy responds to:
-
A maturing domestic market with limited organic growth and increasing competitive pressure
-
Accelerating technological shifts, including AI, cloud-native architectures, automation and cybersecurity
-
The imperative to strengthen regional relevance and secure Mauritius' position in emerging digital corridors
-
The need to avoid the long-term risk of structural decline by evolving decisively
What we are building: The Africa–Asia Digital Corridor
Our strategy is structured around a unified architecture designed to position Mauritius as a regional digital hub—connecting infrastructure, technology, people and purpose.
Four Continental Corridors
Connectivity Corridor
Strengthening Mauritius' role as a resilient, low-latency digital node through subsea cable diversification, redundancy, advanced mobile and fixed infrastructure, and satellite integration.
AI & Compute Corridor
Expanding Tier IV data centre capacity and deploying high-performance compute, AI infrastructure and sovereign cloud capabilities to support secure data processing and AI workloads.
Financial Corridor
Enabling the trusted digital infrastructure required for modern financial services, including secure digital payments, cross-border services and fintech integration—supporting regulated financial flows.
Innovation & Scale-Up Corridor
Supporting startups, scale-ups and digital platforms, enabling regional go-to-market opportunities, and facilitating partnerships for experimentation and co-innovation.
Two National Accelerators
AI Enablement for All
Democratising access to AI across Mauritius, supporting ethical adoption and productivity gains across public and private sectors.
Digital Talent Pipeline
Developing skills and reskilling pathways through partnerships with educational institutions to strengthen long-term talent readiness and national competitiveness.
