Etudes Non Stop Study Non Stop
The African continent will not return to its former era after digitalization, as the positive impact on all sectors will be evident. Economic digitization means revolutionizing the level of such sector by developing the industrial field, raising productivity, reducing time and providing employment opportunities, and furthermore creating a digital industry, thus reducing pressure on the rest of the industrial fields.
Digitization as a novelty on the economic stage, it will open a wide door to competitiveness among the major companies, which will make the latter in a complete endeavor to develop its systems, while government departments and in line with the new reality – in the midst of digitization – will have to adopt an innovative, effective and balanced policy.
Digitization carries with it “metamorphism” on all types without exception. The tribal preparation for this transformation is to prepare a fertile societal environment that’s able to accommodate this transformation and this is one of the most essential first steps on the 1000 mile path. And because digitization is no longer new to the rest of the continents, the African continent has become obligated to go through the experience an attempt to stabilize the continent security, economically and socially, as well as to end its isolation and build bridges to communicate with the rest of the world.
We believe that African continent is a young, fertile and stores among its benefits all the elements of progress, growth and it’s well able to stand alongside the rest of the world towards a better and promising tomorrow; Digital for Africa is launching a project to train 10,000 young Africans in programming, as a first step towards digitizing Africa.
