Algeria’s National Investment Fund (NIIF) has launched a new technology hub in Algiers, marking a major milestone in advancing the country’s National Digital Transformation Strategy. The initiative, unveiled on September 15, reflects Algeria’s push to modernize its institutions and strengthen its role as a regional technology leader.
At the signing ceremony, NIIF General Manager Saleh Labbani formalized the agreement with four key industry leaders: Boumediene Senussi, General Manager of Optimum Telecom Algeria (Gezi); Boujemaa Awaroun, General Manager of IT-DEV; Falla Kawar, President and General Manager of INET; and Jalal Saidouni, General Manager of SMART TEST.
The hub will serve as a catalyst for Algeria’s digital economy, consolidating infrastructure, expertise, and resources to accelerate innovation—particularly in the financial sector. By fostering collaboration between NIIF and leading technology firms, the initiative is expected to play a central role in boosting competitiveness and enabling sustainable growth.
Officials emphasized that this project is not only a step forward in implementing Algeria’s digital agenda but also a move to position the country as a reference point in the regional technology landscape.
