Cabo Verde - Technology Park (CVTP) Phase II

The Republic of Cabo Verde has defined ambitious strategies to become a " Cyber Island",a"digital hub",and a "gateway to West Africa".For example, in the Cabo Verde Digital Agenda 2019-21, the Government displays strategies to develop a conducive digital and innovation ecosystem investing in connectivity, capacity building, service provisions and governance. Similarly, digitalization is central to Cabo Verde’s Strategic Plan for Sustainable Development 5 (PEDS) 2017-2021,which defines seven strategic sectors, including digital services and innovation, as sources of sustainable and diversified growth that would enable Cabo Verde to become a circular economy in the mid-Atlantic. More recently, the Cabo Verde Digital Governance Strategy (2021-2024) aims to harmonize public policies that define the country’s digital transformation. This Project is crucial for Cabo Verde to achieve its vision of a diversified digital economy as it positions ICT as an enabler of productivity and growth in key sectors (such as Agriculture, Blue Economy and Tourism).
