Digital Mauritius 2030
Mauritius has taken a clear strategic direction: by 2030, the island aims to become a modern, digital, and knowledge-driven economy. With the national Digital Mauritius 2030 strategy, the government is setting strong foundations that significantly strengthen the IT sector — and make the country highly attractive for European companies.
1. Stable conditions for sustainable growth
Mauritius is known as one of the most economically stable countries in Africa and the Indian Ocean. The Digital 2030 strategy builds on this foundation by creating transparent, investor-friendly structures. For European clients, this means long-term predictability, reliable regulations and a business environment that embraces digital transformation.
2. Major investments in infrastructure & e-government
To accelerate digital services, Mauritius is investing heavily in broadband, 5G, data centers and modern ICT infrastructure. At the same time, public administration is being digitalized — from e-government platforms to digital identity solutions. This strengthens transparency, efficiency and the country’s overall technological maturity.
3. A strong focus on developing ICT talent
A core pillar of the strategy is talent development. Universities, technical institutes and coding programs are being supported to train more software engineers, cloud specialists, data professionals and AI experts. As a result, Mauritius is building a continuously growing pool of highly skilled IT talent.
4. Security, data protection & digital trust
The strategy places strong emphasis on cybersecurity, data privacy and trusted digital identity frameworks. These foundations enable secure IT services at international standards — a key advantage for companies outsourcing critical software projects or cloud operations.
5. Innovation as a driver of digital transformation
From AI and blockchain to digital platforms, Mauritius actively promotes emerging technologies. Start-ups, innovation hubs and tech incubators are being developed to position the country as a regional technology leader in the long term.
