Senegal’s Minister of
Telecommunications and Digital Affairs, Samba Diouf, has visited Groupe Univers
Telecom SAS to discuss strategic areas including cybersecurity, cloud services
and connectivity as the country advances its digital sovereignty and infrastructure
ambitions.
The working visit took place
on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, according to the Ministry of Telecommunications
and Digital Affairs.
Groupe Univers Telecom
specialises in the deployment of data centres and digital infrastructure,
supporting ecosystem players with infrastructure, connectivity and digital
services. Through its various achievements, the group has also moved its
solutions and standards upmarket, with the ambition of strengthening its
positioning on national and international markets.
The company highlighted its
contribution to the implementation of PRODAP, with the support of Nokia. The
initiative includes an important skills transfer component.
The discussions align with
the ambitions of Senegal’s New Deal Technologique in digital sovereignty,
infrastructure, connectivity and the development of a national technological
ecosystem capable of meeting the country’s needs and expanding internationally.
At the end of the meeting,
Diouf praised the expertise developed by Groupe Univers Telecom and the
diversity of its solutions, while encouraging the company to continue its
innovation efforts and strengthen its commitment to the Senegalese ecosystem.
