A look at those propelling Gabon into the future.

DigieWomen School: the architect of women's ambition

Since 2018, DigieWomen School has established itself as one of the major players in digital transformation in Central Africa. Driven by a strong ambition, to train women and young people in digital skills, the school quickly broadened its scope to also support companies in modernising their teams and processes.

The results speak for themselves: more than 10,000 people trained in Gabon and Côte d'Ivoire, more than 100 certified training courses delivered, a job placement rate of between 70 and 75%, and four international awards. With 30 experts and more than 25 strategic partners, DigieWomen School is now a key lever for women's leadership in tech. Proof, if any were needed, that the digital future is also being built, increasingly, by women.

SING: the hub of Gabonese innovation

The Digital Incubation Company of Gabon (SING) is the launch pad. Its role: to support start-ups and entrepreneurs. To turn a raw idea into a concrete, viable, high-impact project. Between incubation, high-level mentoring and ultra-modern coworking spaces, SING is the official catalyst for local innovation.

CGI: the engine of national transformation

The Gabonese Innovation Centre (CGI) is the national body dedicated to digital transformation. It structures the ecosystem by offering comprehensive support: modern workspaces, targeted training and privileged access to a network of experts to boost projects. The CGI is the bridge between innovative ideas and concrete impact, shaping Gabon's tech roadmap.

École 241: the tech talent factory

École 241 is much more than just an institution. Born of a bold vision, it trains young people quickly and intensively for the most in-demand jobs. Its method: practical, immersive bootcamps. Its two flagship specialities: Web and Mobile Development, and Digital Officer. The school makes a point of teaching not only tech skills, but also management and leadership. The aim: to foster lasting employment, equip Gabonese people for the digital economy and make them autonomous.

"As catalysts of innovation, they are turning digital access in Gabon from a privilege into a universal, value-creating right."
