Cybastion is pleased to announce the opening of its new regional office and IT Training Academy in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. The Abidjan office will serve as a regional hub for collaboration with local governments, businesses, and technology partners to build an inclusive, secure, and resilient digital ecosystem.

Through partnership agreements with the Government of Côte d’Ivoire, Cybastion has laid the groundwork for the Africa Digital City initiative to boost digital access, literacy, and the digital environment in Africa and create a resilient wireless emergency network system.

To equip women entrepreneurs with digital skills and education, Cybastion launched DigiFemmes, a groundbreaking initiative in partnership with the Ivorian Ministry of Women, Family, and Child Affairs and the Ministry of Communication, to provide women with digital literacy, entrepreneurial skills, and the know-how to navigate the digital landscape. 

Africa requires world-class training institutions that meet the tech industry’s market needs for digital and cybersecurity skills. An estimated 230 million jobs in Africa will require digital skills by 2030, IFC cited. The Cybastion IT Academy provides training certifications and diplomas through partnerships with the U.S. tech sector and universities to build a skilled African workforce to drive the continent’s digital transformation.
