Togo and Poland are strengthening their cooperation in the fields of digital technology and innovation. During an official visit to Lomé by Krzysztof Gawkowski, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Affairs of the Republic of Poland, a financing agreement was signed to support the launch of Africa Drone Company.
Led by Cyber Defense Africa, the initiative aims to develop local capabilities in the design, assembly, and deployment of drones in Togo. These technologies are expected to serve key sectors including security, agriculture, logistics, industry, and the monitoring of critical infrastructure.
Backed by €24 million in funding mobilized by the Polish public bank BGK under the European Union’s Global Gateway initiative, the project aligns with Togo’s ambition to strengthen its technological capacity, promote knowledge transfer, and foster the emergence of local expertise in strategic domains.
Through this partnership, the Ministry of Public Service Efficiency and Digital Transformation reaffirms its commitment to a forward-looking digital transformation—one that prioritizes technological sovereignty, the development of local talent, and the establishment of resilient infrastructure capable of meeting the country’s long-term priorities.
