Mauritius has made a bold leap towards a digitally empowered future with the launch of \u201cA Blueprint for the Mauritius: A Bridge to the Future – Digital Transformation 2025\u20132029\u201d, on 26 May 2025 at the Sir Harilall Vaghjee Hall in Port Louis. Aligned with the Government Programme, this initiative sets the stage for a smarter, more inclusive, and sustainable digital economy.<\/p>

The Blueprint was officially launched by the President of the Republic of Mauritius, Mr. Dharam Gokhool, in the presence of the Minister of Information Technology, Communication and Innovation, Dr. Avinash Ramtohul; several Ministers and Junior Ministers,\u00a0Members of Parliament,\u00a0the United Nations\u00a0 Resident Coordinator for Mauritius and Seychelles, Ms Lisa Simrique Singh,\u00a0the United Nations Development Programme Resident Representative for Mauritius, Mrs Amanda Kabejja Serumaga\u00a0and other eminent personalities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In his address President Gokhool described the Blueprint as a defining moment for the nation, setting the foundation for a digital future anchored in inclusivity, innovation, and resilience. He recalled Government\u2019s commitment to a citizen-centric, transparent, and data-driven approach to governance. The key components of the plan include a comprehensive digital transformation of public service, a national Artificial Intelligence (AI) strategy, a universal mobile ID, and strengthened cybersecurity frameworks.<\/p>

Emphasising the urgency of digital transformation, the President noted that the initiative comes at a crucial time as the world navigates the sweeping changes brought by the Fifth Industrial Revolution. He stressed the importance of ensuring digital equity, so that all Mauritians, regardless of location or background, can benefit from technological progress. He underscored that ethics, societal well-being, and human-centred innovation must remain at the core of this transition, along with sustained investment in both technology and human capital.<\/p>

President Gokhool also highlighted the strong engagement of the private sector in advancing the national digital agenda. AI\u2019s widespread influence holds immense potential to boost economic growth, foster entrepreneurship, and empower the people of Mauritius to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape, he said.<\/p>

For his part Dr Ramtohul emphasised Government\u2019s unwavering commitment to steering Mauritius towards a digitally inclusive and innovation-driven economy. The Blueprint is built around four fundamental pillars: the establishment of a state-of-the-art info-structure designed to deliver fast, secure, and accessible digital services; the development of human capital by equipping citizens with digital skills across all sectors; the promotion of innovation and private sector growth through digital entrepreneurship; and the creation of a sustainable and resilient digital future, leveraging green and climate-smart technologies.<\/p>

According to Minister Ramtohul the success of this vision depends on the effective implementation of five key national enablers. These comprise:\u00a0 developing\u00a0a unified digital public infrastructure, updating legal and regulatory frameworks to safeguard rights and privacy, strengthening institutional governance, enhancing cyber resilience and trust, and establishing\u00a0 robust data governance supported by AI.<\/p>

He stated that together, these enablers will underpin the digital transformation of Mauritius, enabling citizens to live, learn, and work within a secure, inclusive, and future-ready digital environment.<\/p>
