Orange Accelerates in Africa: 3 Million Youth to Train and 50 New Digital Centers
During the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi, Orange announced on Tuesday a major acceleration of its commitments to youth employability, digital inclusion, and inclusive artificial intelligence in Africa. The group is thus strengthening its long-term strategy on a continent where it has nearly 180 million customers.
Training 3 Million Young People and Supporting 500 Startups by 2030
Orange commits to training over 3 million young people in technologies and the jobs of tomorrow, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and digital entrepreneurship, through free and certifying programs. To support this ambition, the group will open 50 new Orange Digital Centers, bringing its network to 100 centers in Africa and the Middle East.
The training will rely on partnerships with 167 universities and learning platforms like Coursera. Orange also aims to support more than 500 new startups by 2030 in strategic sectors such as health, agriculture, fintech, education, and e-commerce, thus enhancing job creation and innovation on the continent.
