Zimbabwe’s Minister of ICT, Hon. Tatenda Mavetera, recently participated in high-profile discussions at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 in Barcelona. The event brought together industry leaders, policymakers, and tech experts worldwide to explore future trends and collaborations in the digital space.
One of the major highlights for Zimbabwe was its selection for the GigaProject—a significant initiative aimed at enhancing school connectivity through solar power and internet access. This move is expected to improve digital learning opportunities nationwide, particularly in underserved areas.
Hon. Mavetera also took part in panel discussions alongside ministers from Uzbekistan, Madagascar, and Malaysia, sharing insights on how emerging technologies can drive innovation, economic growth, and job creation in the digital sector.
The Minister’s engagements went beyond the GigaProject, as she held discussions focused on artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and public-private partnerships. These talks are part of Zimbabwe’s broader strategy to position itself as a forward-thinking player in the global tech landscape.
Could Zimbabwe’s participation in MWC 2025 mark a turning point in its digital transformation journey?
I am passionate about crafting stories, vibing to good music (and making some too), debating Nigeria’s political future like it’s the World Cup, and finding the perfect quiet spot to work and unwind.
