The Malagasy government has outlined an ambitious plan to harness the power of the technological revolution. They are actively pursuing a range of initiatives aimed at achieving substantial progress in a short timeframe.

On Wednesday, July 10, Malagasy Minister of Digital Development, Posts and Telecommunications (MNDPT), Tahina Razafindramalo, welcomed a delegation from Onepoint and Global Business Network International, two French companies specializing in digital technology, for a working meeting.

According to the ministry's statement, discussions focused on several key topics, including the interoperability of information systems and data used by the government, the implementation of e-governance, and the impacts of digital transformation on the Malagasy government and its citizens.

The meeting aligns with the government's ongoing efforts to strengthen the digital sector through innovative technological partnerships. Recently, the government visited South Korea to meet potential partners capable of supporting the digitalization of the agricultural sector, demonstrating its commitment to modernizing various sectors through technology.

Following the meeting, a partnership was announced with Onepoint to organize an event on July 11 and 12 titled "Mastering Data to Transform Madagascar." This event brings together representatives from both the public and private sectors to discuss the importance of data management in the country's digital transformation.

Global Business Network International, established in October 2004, specializes in computer programming and assisting companies in their digital transitions. Onepoint is known for its unique approach that combines technology with human intelligence to support its clients' digital transformation. These future collaborations promise to bring innovative and sustainable solutions to the digital development of Madagascar.
