Presight expands Digital Transformation partnerships across three new countries in Africa
Presight has signed separate
Memoranda of Understanding( MoUs) with the governments of Burkina Faso, Côte d’ Ivoire and Gabon to support national Digital Transformation initiatives.
The agreements expand Presight’ s growing footprint across Africa. Through these collaborations, the company will work with national institutions to design and deploy intelligent digital systems that integrate data, analytics and automation into public sector operations, strengthening infrastructure and improving government service delivery.
In Côte d’ Ivoire, these agreements will support the development of advanced digital platforms to improve data management, inter-agency coordination and administrative efficiency, while advancing the country’ s ambition to become a regional hub for digital innovation.
In Burkina Faso, the initiative will explore AIenabled systems to improve public service delivery, enhance financial transparency and treasury management and establish a comprehensive cybersecurity framework. The partnership also includes programmes to support local innovation and talent development, including an AI Expert Factory to train engineers.
In Gabon, a renewed agreement will accelerate Digital Transformation and modernise public services using artificial intelligence.
Dr Adel Alsharji, Chief Operating Officer of Presight, said:“ Our partnerships with these governments across Africa reflect a shared ambition to build national digital platforms that operate at scale, strengthen institutional capability and enable faster, more informed decision-making across government systems.”
Seseko and Microsoft South Africa deliver a high-impact nationwide digital skills programme
The programme adopts a holistic approach, equipping schools with robotics kits and CAPS-aligned learning materials to support hands-on learning. Educators have also received specialised training, with all participating teachers achieving South African Council for Educators( SACE) accreditation, helping embed these skills sustainably within the education system.
South Africa’ s education sector continues to face disparities in access to digital resources. Initiatives such as this aim to bridge that gap by expanding access to tools and knowledge regardless of geography or socio-economic background.
The programme has also contributed to addressing youth unemployment, with 96 youth facilitators recruited to support schools over a 12-month period. These facilitators assist educators, reinforce lesson delivery and help maintain learner engagement, while gaining valuable work experience.
Seseko, in partnership with Microsoft South Africa, has successfully completed the first phase of its AI, Robotics and Coding Program, reaching 48 underserved schools across all nine provinces in South Africa.
Bradley Maseko, CEO of Seseko, said:“ Every learner, regardless of their background, deserves access to the skills that will shape the future. This programme is about more than introducing technology into classrooms; it is about unlocking potential, building confidence and creating real opportunities for young people to participate in the digital economy. www. intelligentcio. com
