Rwanda is rapidly emerging as a leader in Africa’s tech ecosystem, boasting an impressive 99% internet coverage and over 70% digital device ownership by its population. This robust digital foundation positions Rwanda as a prime location for tech innovation. The Rwandan government actively encourages investment, particularly in the tech sector, making it an attractive destination for both domestic and foreign tech entrepreneurs. With a vision of becoming Africa’s tech hub by 2030, Rwanda is actively supporting this goal by providing resources and fostering an innovation-friendly environment.
