    Nokia has inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the African Telecommunications Union (ATU) to push digital transformation and the knowledge economy for socio-economic development across the continent.

    Both parties will take advantage of telecommunications, in addition to 5G networks to drive digital inclusion and identify innovative use cases, as well as business models.

    Also, the MoU will serve as a framework for both entities to assist the government in shaping policy formulation as it pertains to telecommunication, nurturing of talents, promote inclusion and diversity with special attention to women and the underprivileged both in rural and urban areas.

    While commenting on the partnership, Rajiv Aggarwal, Head of Central, East, and West Africa Market Unit at Nokia, said: “We remain keen on supporting Africa’s digital transformation journey and by collaborating with the ATU, we strengthen this commitment. We will leverage our global technology expertise and insights on policy matters to positively impact the universal socio-economic development in the continent.”

    Co-signing the MoU with Mr. Rajiv, John OMO, Secretary-General of the African Telecommunications Union (ATU), said: “Our vision is to make Africa a full and active participant in the global information and knowledge society by enabling universal access to ICT systems and services across Africa. Collaboration with a global industry leader such as Nokia is therefore crucial in this regard and will help us accelerate towards a digital transformation and knowledge economy.”

    The MoU framework is guided by six tenets designed to facilitate this acceleration. These are:

    • Sharing of best practices on telecom technology trends and developments
    • Identification of innovative industrial use cases toward the Fourth Industrial Revolution
    • Recommendation on the implementation of emerging technologies and business models
    • Promotion of connecting the unconnected with broadband
    • Development of emerging talent for digital innovation
    • Promotion of inclusion and diversity
