SDG Investor Map - Seychelles 2023
Digital Transformation: Business and e-Government Software Solutions
Business Model
Develop customized software and enterprise technologies,
including inventory and supply chain management software,
enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship
management (CRM), search engine optimization services,
and conversion rate optimization, specifically for micro,
small and medium enterprises (MSME), digital tools for
ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs), government-
to-citizen (G2C) and government-to-business (G2B)
e-governance services.
Development Need
•
•
A limited supply of digital talent, wide fluctuations in
electricity rates, and the high price of internet connectivity
restrain the development of internet-based services and
products.
Few educational establishments are engaged in the sector.
There is ample scope for creating a more enabling
environment for the development of home-grown
technological innovation and e-business, with incentives in
place to allow for start-ups and/or established entities.
Emerging Private Sector and Market Potential
•
•
African start-ups raised over USD 4bn in 2021, growing
by over 2.5 times in 2021. Seychelles can substantially
contribute to this trend if the ICT sector is improved.
After the approval of the Digital Economy Agenda,
the Digital Economy Steering Committee was created.
Policy and Regulatory Momentum
The digital economy agenda could improve policy and
regulatory environment by providing guidance and
management structure for digital entrepreneurship and
fostering the establishment of an ICT ecosystem in the
country, notably with fintech labs, IT incubators, and IT
academies that would complement the education policy
regarding the bilingual characteristic of the Seychellois
workforce.View entire presentation
